Introducing the Privacy-HSD Trade-off: Hate Speech Detection, but not at the Cost of Privacy

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

The paper introduces the privacy‑HSD trade‑off, highlighting that automatic hate speech detection systems can inadvertently compromise user privacy by encoding authorship. It demonstrates that such systems may achieve high performance at the expense of privacy, and proposes a new domain‑specific technique, AgnoSpeech, alongside other text privatization methods to balance these competing goals. The authors benchmark these methods, showing that while challenging, it is feasible to protect privacy without sacrificing hate‑speech detection effectiveness.

The Enforcement and Feasibility of Hate Speech Moderation

The study audits hate‑speech moderation on Twitter (now X) using 540,000 annotated tweets from a full day. Eighty percent of hateful tweets, including violent content, remained online after five months, and removal was only slightly more likely than for non‑hateful tweets, far below the rates for scams or adult content. Automated detection could not reliably classify hate but ranked it highly, allowing human triage; however, current staffing curbed little exposure, while substantial reductions were financially feasible and far below applicable regulatory fines.

DP-MGTD: Privacy-Preserving Machine-Generated Text Detection via Adaptive Differentially Private Entity Sanitization

arXiv:2601. 04641v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The deployment of Machine-Generated Text (MGT) detection systems necessitates processing sensitive user data, creating a fundamental conflict between authorship verification and privacy preservation.

I Am No One: Style-Aware Paraphrasing for Text Anonymization

The paper introduces a style-aware paraphrasing method for text anonymization that leverages pretrained large language models to build compact stylistic profiles from minimal samples and rewrite text to suppress identifiable style markers while preserving meaning. It demonstrates that this approach reduces authorship attribution F1 scores by 60‑70% on blog and review datasets, outperforming both differential privacy‑based and non‑DP baselines, and maintains content quality and readability.
