ToxGate improves multilingual toxicity detection by conditioning signals

Researchers have developed ToxGate, a novel trust-fusion head designed to improve the reliability of toxicity detection systems, particularly for multilingual and code-mixed text. Traditional moderation tools struggle with variations like transliteration, slang, and language mismatches. ToxGate addresses this by conditioning auxiliary toxicity signals on encoder representations before integrating them into the prediction state. Experiments across multiple datasets and encoders demonstrated that ToxGate significantly enhances performance in high-risk moderation scenarios, including explicit slurs and violent threats, offering a more nuanced approach to evidence-based moderation.
