Ask ChatGPT about the research
تعتبر إساءة استخدام الإنترنت مشكلة مجتمعية مهمة في عصرنا. يواجه ملايين مستخدمي الإنترنت المضايقات والعنصرية والهجمات الشخصية وأنواع أخرى من سوء المعاملة عبر مختلف المنصات. يمكن أن تكون الآثار النفسية للإيذاء على الأفراد عميقة ودائمة. وبالتالي، خلال السنوات القليلة الماضية، كان هناك جهد بحثي كبير نحو الكشف الآلي للكشف عن اللغة المسيئة في مجال NLP. في ورقة الموضع هذه، نناقش الدور الذي يلعبه نمذجة المستخدمين والمجتمعات عبر الإنترنت في اكتشاف إساءة الاستخدام. على وجه التحديد، نقوم بمراجعة وتحليل حالة الأساليب الفنية التي ترفض معلومات المستخدم أو المجتمع لتعزيز فهم اللغة والكشف عن اللغة المسيئة. ثم نستكشف التحديات الأخلاقية المتمثلة في دمج معلومات المستخدم والمجتمع، ووضع اعتبارات لتوجيه البحوث المستقبلية. أخيرا، نتعلم موضوع الشرح في الكشف عن اللغة المسيئة، واقتراح خصائص يجب أن تهدف طريقة تفسير إلى إظهارها. نحن تصف كيف يمكن للمستخدم والمعلومات المجتمعية تسهيل تحقيق هذه الخصائص ومناقشة التشغيل الفعال للتفسير في ضوء العقارات.
Abuse on the Internet is an important societal problem of our time. Millions of Internet users face harassment, racism, personal attacks, and other types of abuse across various platforms. The psychological effects of abuse on individuals can be profound and lasting. Consequently, over the past few years, there has been a substantial research effort towards automated abusive language detection in the field of NLP. In this position paper, we discuss the role that modeling of users and online communities plays in abuse detection. Specifically, we review and analyze the state of the art methods that leverage user or community information to enhance the understanding and detection of abusive language. We then explore the ethical challenges of incorporating user and community information, laying out considerations to guide future research. Finally, we address the topic of explainability in abusive language detection, proposing properties that an explainable method should aim to exhibit. We describe how user and community information can facilitate the realization of these properties and discuss the effective operationalization of explainability in view of the properties.

Online abuse and offensive language on social media have become widespread problems in today's digital age. In this paper, we contribute a Reddit-based dataset, consisting of 68,159 insults and 51,102 compliments targeted at individuals instead of ta
rgeting a particular community or race. Secondly, we benchmark multiple existing state-of-the-art models for both classification and unsupervised style transfer on the dataset. Finally, we analyse the experimental results and conclude that the transfer task is challenging, requiring the models to understand the high degree of creativity exhibited in the data.
In this paper, we introduce a new English Twitter-based dataset for cyberbullying detection and online abuse. Comprising 62,587 tweets, this dataset was sourced from Twitter using specific query terms designed to retrieve tweets with high probabiliti
es of various forms of bullying and offensive content, including insult, trolling, profanity, sarcasm, threat, porn and exclusion. We recruited a pool of 17 annotators to perform fine-grained annotation on the dataset with each tweet annotated by three annotators. All our annotators are high school educated and frequent users of social media. Inter-rater agreement for the dataset as measured by Krippendorff's Alpha is 0.67. Analysis performed on the dataset confirmed common cyberbullying themes reported by other studies and revealed interesting relationships between the classes. The dataset was used to train a number of transformer-based deep learning models returning impressive results.
People utilize online forums to either look for information or to contribute it. Because of their growing popularity, certain online forums have been created specifically to provide support, assistance, and opinions for people suffering from mental i
llness. Depression is one of the most frequent psychological illnesses worldwide. People communicate more with online forums to find answers for their psychological disease. However, there is no mechanism to measure the severity of depression in each post and give higher importance to those who are diagnosed more severely depressed. Despite the fact that numerous researches based on online forum data and the identification of depression have been conducted, the severity of depression is rarely explored. In addition, the absence of datasets will stymie the development of novel diagnostic procedures for practitioners. From this study, we offer a dataset to support research on depression severity evaluation. The computational approach to measure an automatic process, identified severity of depression here is quite novel approach. Nonetheless, this elaborate measuring severity of depression in online forum posts is needed to ensure the measurement scales used in our research meets the expected norms of scientific research.
It is generally agreed upon in the natural language processing (NLP) community that ethics should be integrated into any curriculum. Being aware of and understanding the relevant core concepts is a prerequisite for following and participating in the
discourse on ethical NLP. We here present ready-made teaching material in the form of slides and practical exercises on ethical issues in NLP, which is primarily intended to be integrated into introductory NLP or computational linguistics courses. By making this material freely available, we aim at lowering the threshold to adding ethics to the curriculum. We hope that increased awareness will enable students to identify potentially unethical behavior.
We present the first annotated corpus for multilingual analysis of potentially unfair clauses in online Terms of Service. The data set comprises a total of 100 contracts, obtained from 25 documents annotated in four different languages: English, Germ
an, Italian, and Polish. For each contract, potentially unfair clauses for the consumer are annotated, for nine different unfairness categories. We show how a simple yet efficient annotation projection technique based on sentence embeddings could be used to automatically transfer annotations across languages.
