BenCoDiC: A Large-Scale Contextual Cyberbullying Corpus for Bengali Political News Discourse FULL VERSION

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

The paper introduces BenCoDiC, a large Bengali cyberbullying corpus focused on political news discourse. It contains 50,250 textual instances from 100 YouTube videos, preserving caption–comment–reply relationships and organized via a nine‑dimensional star schema. A two‑tier human annotation process achieved high reliability (Fleiss' κ = 0.86, Krippendorff's α = 0.86), and transformer experiments show that adding conversational context modestly improves classification over isolated text.

Agentic Detection of Online Conspiracies

The paper presents an agentic framework for detecting conspiratorial content in social media by inferring the speaker’s intent rather than merely identifying explicit claims. It leverages social context and adaptive tool use, demonstrating superior performance over text-only and non-agentic models on a large Hebrew tweet dataset spanning election cycles and the COVID pandemic. The study highlights the importance of context-aware, reasoning-driven approaches for accurate conspiracy detection.

Beyond Accuracy: A Qualitative Analysis of Vision-Language Models for Hate Speech Detection in Memes

The paper examines how four leading vision‑language models—LLaVA‑7B, Qwen‑VL, GPT‑4o mini, and Claude 3 Haiku—perform in detecting hateful content within memes. It evaluates the models under zero‑shot and few‑shot prompting, focusing not only on classification accuracy but also on the qualitative justifications they generate. The study highlights that these models often overlook contextual nuances, irony, and subtle cues essential for accurately identifying hate speech in memes.
