The paper presents a new benchmark for automatically evaluating mental health stigma in online text, featuring a fine‑grained taxonomy that covers stigma mode, domain, and specific components across multiple mental health conditions. The authors annotate naturally occurring news and social media posts and test large language models and classifiers for sentiment, toxicity, and hate speech, finding that these models poorly capture stigma and often overpredict it without explicit rules. The benchmark, annotations, exemplar cases, and code are publicly released on GitHub.

The paper introduces FAID, a fine‑grained adaptive framework for detecting implicit hate speech. It first classifies samples into Shallow, Targeted, or Context‑Dependent categories and then applies tailored strategies—prompt‑tuning for shallow cases, knowledge augmentation for targeted ones, and an agentic prompt‑generation system for context‑dependent posts. Experiments on four benchmark datasets show that FAID outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines by allocating computational effort only where needed.

The paper presents an explainable hate‑speech detection framework that combines DistilBERT embeddings, a Bi‑LSTM network, and an attention mechanism to capture contextual and sequential information. It uses LIME to highlight influential text features, providing transparency in predictions. Evaluated on two benchmark datasets for both binary and multi‑class tasks, the model achieves F1‑scores of 96.78%–99.53% for binary classification and 94.99%–97.00% for multi‑class classification, outperforming existing baselines.
