Crisis sentiment analysis is especially challenging for low-resource languages such as Bangla, where language, context, and public reaction shift rapidly. We introduce UNRESTSENT200K, a Bangla crisis...
The paper presents a large‑scale study of ragebait—content designed to provoke anger—on Japanese posts on X. It introduces a labeled dataset created with a large language model, trains Japanese language models, and builds an ensemble classifier that detects ragebait. Applying this detector to a vast dataset reveals that ragebait is especially common in politically and socially contentious topics, spreads faster, and elicits stronger negative emotions than non‑ragebait posts.
The paper explores how large language models can detect hidden narratives in social messages without training data. By feeding the models human-written narrative descriptions, performance improves markedly, while automatically generated descriptions or few-shot examples can hurt accuracy. Ensemble techniques, especially majority voting, further boost robustness, and larger models show the best results with less sensitivity to prompts.

The paper presents a large‑scale study of ragebait on Japanese X, developing an ensemble classifier trained on a dataset labeled with the help of a large language model. The detector was applied to a vast collection of Japanese posts, revealing that ragebait is especially common in politically and socially contentious topics such as politics, discrimination, public health, and interpersonal conflict. Ragebait posts spread more quickly and elicit stronger negative emotions—anger, fear, disgust, sadness, and surprise—than non‑ragebait posts.

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.
