Researchers have developed SAFE-MEME, a structured reasoning framework designed to improve the detection of hate speech within memes. This framework utilizes a novel multimodal Chain-of-Thought approach with question-and-answer style reasoning (SAFE-MEME-QA) and a hierarchical categorization method (SAFE-MEME-H). The system was benchmarked on two new datasets, MHS and MHS-Con, which feature fine-grained hateful abstractions in both regular and confounding scenarios. SAFE-MEME-QA demonstrated improved performance over existing open-source models, while SAFE-MEME-H achieved comparable results to closed-source models like GPT-4o and Gemini 2.5 on certain metrics.
