Predicting Hateful Discussions on Reddit using Graph Transformer Networks and Communal Context
We propose a system to predict harmful discussions on social media platforms. Our solution uses contextual deep language models and proposes the novel idea of integrating state-of-the-art Graph Transformer Networks to analyze all conversations that follow an initial post. This framework also supports adapting to future comments as the conversation unfolds. In addition, we study whether a community-specific analysis of hate speech leads to more effective detection of hateful discussions. We evaluate our approach on 333,487 Reddit discussions from various communities. We find that community-specific modeling improves performance two-fold and that models which capture wider-discussion context improve accuracy by 28\% (35\% for the most hateful content) compared to limited context models.

Multi-Modal Discussion Transformer: Integrating Text, Images and Graph Transformers to Detect Hate Speech on Social Media
We present the Multi-Modal Discussion Transformer (mDT), a novel methodfor detecting hate speech in online social networks such as Reddit discussions. In contrast to traditional comment-only methods, our approach to labe…
Conversation Modeling on Reddit using a Graph-Structured LSTM
This paper presents a novel approach for modeling threaded discussions on social media using a graph-structured bidirectional LSTM which represents both hierarchical and temporal conversation structure. In experiments wi…
Qualitative Analysis of a Graph Transformer Approach to Addressing Hate Speech: Adapting to Dynamically Changing Content
