From Abusive Language Classification to Sequence Labeling Identification

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

The paper introduces Abusive Language Identification (ALI), a sequence‑labeling approach that simultaneously extracts abusive spans and identifies target mentions, addressing limitations of traditional sentence‑level abusive language classification (ALC). Using a pilot corpus from a production moderation pipeline, the authors compare ALI to ALC, finding that ALI performs competitively while offering localized outputs useful for moderators, with a modest advantage on implicit abuse. However, accurately determining exact abusive boundaries and target spans remains challenging, and the study highlights the need for further research on target‑span linking and structured benchmarks for ALI.

Sledgehammer or Scalpel? A Fine-grained Adaptive Framework for Implicit Hate Speech

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.

Evaluating Criterion-Conditioned Behaviour of Large Language Models in Content Moderation

The paper introduces DECO, a diagnostic tool that factorises content into independent criteria for evaluating large language models (LLMs) on content moderation tasks. Using DECO and pairwise evaluation across four datasets and four LLMs, the authors find that high benchmark scores can mask significant failures at the criterion level, especially when decisions hinge on specific content aspects rather than overall harmfulness. The study underscores that aggregated label performance does not guarantee reliable criterion-conditioned evaluation, calling for new methods that explicitly assess this behavior.

When Hate Meets Facts: LLMs-in-the-Loop for Check-worthiness Detection in Hate Speech

The paper introduces WSF-ARG+, a new dataset that pairs hate speech with check‑worthiness annotations, and presents an LLM‑in‑the‑loop framework to streamline the annotation process. Experiments with 12 open‑weight large language models demonstrate that the framework cuts human effort while maintaining annotation quality. The study also shows that incorporating check‑worthiness labels improves hate‑speech detection performance, boosting macro‑F1 scores for large models by up to 0.213 and averaging 0.154 across models.
