The study investigates how socio-demographic data can improve pluralistic offensiveness modeling. It finds that demographic information yields modest, inconsistent gains for individual predictions but clearer benefits at group and population levels due to aggregation. By explicitly reasoning about baseline judgments and demographic-specific deviations, the authors show that both components improve predictions, and that reasoning outperforms simple conditioning on demographics.
The paper proposes a training‑time explainability framework that aligns model reasoning with human‑annotated rationales to improve both classification performance and interpretability for multilingual hate speech detection. It is evaluated on HateXplain (English) and BullySent (Hinglish), datasets that capture anti‑Muslim hate in culturally coded, multilingual forms. Using methods such as LIME, Integrated Gradients, Grad‑X‑Input, and attention, the study shows that gradient‑ and attention‑based regularization boosts F‑scores, enhances plausibility and faithfulness, and captures culturally specific cues for detecting implicit anti‑Muslim hate.
