Highly Generalizable Models for Multilingual Hate Speech Detection
Hate speech detection has become an important research topic within the past decade. More private corporations are needing to regulate user generated content on different platforms across the globe. In this paper, we introduce a study of multilingual hate speech classification. We compile a dataset of 11 languages and resolve different taxonomies by analyzing the combined data with binary labels: hate speech or not hate speech. Defining hate speech in a single way across different languages and datasets may erase cultural nuances to the definition, therefore, we utilize language agnostic embeddings provided by LASER and MUSE in order to develop models that can use a generalized definition of hate speech across datasets. Furthermore, we evaluate prior state of the art methodologies for hate speech detection under our expanded dataset. We conduct three types of experiments for a binary hate speech classification task: Multilingual-Train Monolingual-Test, MonolingualTrain Monolingual-Test and Language-Family-Train Monolingual Test scenarios to see if performance increases for each language due to learning more from other language data.
