New Abusive Language Identification task improves content moderation localization

Researchers have introduced Abusive Language Identification (ALI) as a sequence-labeling task to improve content moderation by localizing abusive text spans and identifying targeted mentions. This approach was compared against traditional sentence-level Abusive Language Classification (ALC) on a production moderation pipeline corpus. While ALI showed competitive performance with ALC and provided localized outputs beneficial for moderators, accurately recovering exact abusive boundaries and target spans remains a challenge. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new sequence-labeling approach for more precise abusive language detection, potentially improving content moderation systems.

    From Abusive Language Classification to Sequence Labeling Identification

    Industrial content moderation must process massive message streams under tight latency constraints, yet most abusive language (AL) detection systems rely on sentence-level classification (ALC), which neither localizes abusive spans nor identifies who is targeted. We define Abusiv…
