Leveraging LLMs for Context-Aware Implicit Textual and Multimodal Hate Speech Detection

The paper explores using a large language model (LLM) to generate background context for social media posts and tests four ways to integrate this context into a Sentence-BERT (SBERT) hate‑speech detection classifier. The methods include text concatenation, embedding concatenation, hierarchical transformer fusion, and LLM‑driven text enhancement. Experiments on the Latent Hatred dataset of implicitly hateful tweets and the MAMI dataset of misogynous memes show that adding generated context can raise F1 scores by up to 3 points in textual and 6 points in multimodal settings compared to a zero‑context baseline, with embedding concatenation yielding the best results.
