Pay ``Attention'' to your Context when Classifying Abusive Language
The goal of any social media platform is to facilitate healthy and meaningful interactions among its users. But more often than not, it has been found that it becomes an avenue for wanton attacks. We propose an experimental study that has three aims: 1) to provide us with a deeper understanding of current data sets that focus on different types of abusive language, which are sometimes overlapping (racism, sexism, hate speech, offensive language, and personal attacks); 2) to investigate what type of attention mechanism (contextual vs. self-attention) is better for abusive language detection using deep learning architectures; and 3) to investigate whether stacked architectures provide an advantage over simple architectures for this task.

We examine the task of detecting implicitly abusive comparisons (e.g. {``}Your hair looks like you have been electrocuted{''}). Implicitly abusive comparisons are abusive comparisons in which abusive words (e.g. {``}dumb…
Abusive Language Detection in Heterogeneous Contexts: Dataset Collection and the Role of Supervised Attention
Abusive language is a massive problem in online social platforms. Existing abusive language detection techniques are particularly ill-suited to comments containing heterogeneous abusive language patterns, i.e., both abus…
