Developing Linguistic Patterns to Mitigate Inherent Human Bias in Offensive Language Detection
With the proliferation of social media, there has been a sharp increase in offensive content, particularly targeting vulnerable groups, exacerbating social problems such as hatred, racism, and sexism. Detecting offensive language use is crucial to prevent offensive language from being widely shared on social media. However, the accurate detection of irony, implication, and various forms of hate speech on social media remains a challenge. Natural language-based deep learning models require extensive training with large, comprehensive, and labeled datasets. Unfortunately, manually creating such datasets is both costly and error-prone. Additionally, the presence of human-bias in offensive language datasets is a major concern for deep learning models. In this paper, we propose a linguistic data augmentation approach to reduce bias in labeling processes, which aims to mitigate the influence of human bias by leveraging the power of machines to improve the accuracy and fairness of labeling processes. This approach has the potential to improve offensive language classification tasks across multiple languages and reduce the prevalence of offensive content on social media.

This study finds that existing information retrieval (IR) models show significant biases based on the linguistic complexity of input queries, performing well on linguistically simpler (or more complex) queries while unde…

How Human-Like Are Large Language Models? A Register-Aware Linguistic Evaluation Framework
While factual correctness and task-performance have been in focus of Large Language Model (LLM) research for a long time, the fundamental question of how human-like generated texts are on a linguistic level has been unde…
