arXiv:2009. 10277v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose a system for measuring hate speech on a continuous, interval-valued spectrum ranging from genocidal to supportive speech by combining supervised deep learning with faceted Rasch item response theory (IRT).

Aligning Implied Statements for Implicit Hate Speech Generalizability with Context-Bounded Semi-hard Negative Mining

arXiv:2606. 18852v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Classifying implicit hate speech remains a challenge, as intent is often masked through insinuation and context rather than explicit slurs.

AHA-Memes: A Fine-Grained Multimodal Benchmark for Understanding Hate in Arabic Memes

Hateful memes are a growing form of multimodal online harm, where hostile intent is often conveyed through the joint interpretation of images, text, cultural references, and implicit targets. While hateful meme detection has advanced in high-resource languages, Arabic remains underexplored, with existing meme resources focusing mainly on propaganda or coarse harmful-content labels.

Adapting Reinforcement Learning with Chain-of-Thought Supervision for Explainable Detection of Hateful and Propagandistic Memes

arXiv:2606. 15307v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hateful and propagandistic memes exploit the interplay between images and text to convey harmful intent that neither modality reveals alone.

Beyond a Joke: Multi-Angle Reasoning for Detecting and Explaining Harmful Humor in Memes

arXiv:2607. 15442v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Internet memes intertwine visual cues, textual content, and cultural context, making them particularly challenging to interpret in scenarios where humor, sarcasm, and harmful intent coexist.
