Bangla hate speech detection fails on real-world social media data

A new study highlights a significant crisis in Bangla hate speech detection systems, revealing that models trained on benchmark datasets perform poorly when applied to real-world social media content. Architectures like BanglaBERT and FastText + CNN showed substantial drops in F1-scores when evaluated on data from Facebook, X, and YouTube, particularly for implicit hate speech involving sarcasm and emojis. The research suggests that current systems struggle with culturally embedded expressions and over-police certain comments, emphasizing the need for more adaptive and context-aware frameworks for low-resource languages.
