New pipeline targets gaming toxicity with neural-symbolic approach

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel neural-symbolic pipeline for detecting toxicity in online gaming chats, achieving a Macro F1 score of 0.6441 and an accuracy of 0.9062. Their system, which ranked third in Macro F1 and first in accuracy in the EEUCA 2026 Shared Task, combines transformer models with a Linguistically-Informed Mediator. This mediator specifically targets critical minority classes like hate speech and threats, employing techniques such as lexical normalization and agentive targeting analysis. The pipeline is designed for domain portability, requiring only minor adjustments for different gaming platforms. AI

IMPACT This neural-symbolic approach could improve moderation systems for online gaming platforms.

    thaulab@EEUCA 2026: Who Said What to Whom? A Targeting-Aware Neural-Symbolic Pipeline for Gaming Toxicity Detection

    arXiv:2607.20447v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper describes our system for the EEUCA 2026 Shared Task on toxicity classification in gaming chat. We implement a three-stage pipeline combining an ensemble of two compact transformers (DeBERTa-v3-base, 184M; XLM-RoBERTa-base…
