The exponential increase in the use of the Internet and social media over the last two decades has changed human interaction. This has led to many positive outcomes, but at the same time it has brought risks and harms. While the volume of…

Task oriented language understanding in dialog systems is often modeled using intents (task of a query) and slots (parameters for that task). Intent detection and slot tagging are, in turn, modeled using sentence classification and word…

Production machine learning systems are consistently under attack by adversarial actors. Various deep learning models must be capable of accurately detecting fake or adversarial input while maintaining speed. In this work, we propose one…

While significant progress has been made using machine learning algorithms to detect hate speech, important technical challenges still remain to be solved in order to bring their performance closer to human accuracy. We investigate several…

Aggressive language detection (ALD), detecting the abusive and offensive language in texts, is one of the crucial applications in NLP community. Most existing works treat ALD as regular classification with neural models, while ignoring the…

This paper describes the WLV-RIT entry to the Hate Speech and Offensive Content Identification in Indo-European Languages (HASOC) shared task 2020. The HASOC 2020 organizers provided participants with annotated datasets containing social…

In this paper we propose four deep recurrent architectures to tackle the task of offensive tweet detection as well as further classification into targeting and subject of said targeting. Our architectures are based on LSTMs and GRUs, we…

The goal of this paper is open-vocabulary object detection (OVOD) $\unicode{x2013}$ building a model that can detect objects beyond the set of categories seen at training, thus enabling the user to specify categories of interest at…

We propose a novel genetic-algorithm technique that generates black-box adversarial examples which successfully fool neural network based text classifiers. We perform a genetic search with multi-objective optimization guided by deep…

Many existing deep learning models are vulnerable to adversarial examples that are imperceptible to humans. To address this issue, various methods have been proposed to design network architectures that are robust to one particular type of…

The widespread of offensive content online such as hate speech poses a growing societal problem. AI tools are necessary for supporting the moderation process at online platforms. For the evaluation of these identification tools, continuous…

Recent work has demonstrated the vulnerability of modern text classifiers to universal adversarial attacks, which are input-agnostic sequences of words added to text processed by classifiers. Despite being successful, the word sequences…

Deep learning models are susceptible to adversarial attacks, where slight perturbations to input data lead to misclassification. Adversarial attacks become increasingly effective with access to information about the targeted classifier. In…

As offensive language has become a rising issue for online communities and social media platforms, researchers have been investigating ways of coping with abusive content and developing systems to detect its different types: cyberbullying,…

The experimental landscape in natural language processing for social media is too fragmented. Each year, new shared tasks and datasets are proposed, ranging from classics like sentiment analysis to irony detection or emoji prediction.…

Adversarial examples are carefully constructed modifications to an input that completely change the output of a classifier but are imperceptible to humans. Despite these successful attacks for continuous data (such as image and audio…

In recent years, the widespread use of social media has led to an increase in the generation of toxic and offensive content on online platforms. In response, social media platforms have worked on developing automatic detection methods and…

With the popularity of social media, communications through blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and other plat-forms have increased. Initially, English was the only medium of communication. Fortunately, now we can communicate in any language. It has…

Due to the broad range of social media platforms, the requirements of abusive language detection systems are varied and ever-changing. Already a large set of annotated corpora with different properties and label sets were created, such as…

In our paper, we present Deep Learning models with a layer differentiated training method which were used for the SHARED TASK@ CONSTRAINT 2021 sub-tasks COVID19 Fake News Detection in English and Hostile Post Detection in Hindi. We propose…
