摘要
Nowadays, users across the globe interact with one another for information exchange, communication, and association on various online social media. However, some individuals exploit these venues for malicious practices like hate speech and cyberbully. In this paper, we present an improved multilingual hate speech and cyberbully detection model using bagging-stacking based hybrid ensemble deep learning techniques. The proposed model utilizes Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM), Bi-directional Gated Recurrent Unit (Bi-GRU), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) techniques to enhance the overall performance. We first preprocess the multilingual data streams followed by adoption of Global vectors for word Representation (GloVe) embeddings to convert words to a vector representation in parallel enabling the data streams for binary classification task. In order to construct an architecture for the detection of hate speech and cyberbully, we introduce a heterogeneous fusion of multiple effective models in a unique approach such that CNN-LSTM utilizes a stacking approach with stochastic gradient descent to achieve optimal weights, whereas all the base learners used bagging ensemble approach with cross-validation to reach optimal weights. The final output layer of the proposed ensemble deep learning architecture is achieved using a super learner approach on base learners. To show the efficacy of the proposed model, we conduct the simulation on a total of nine real-world social media datasets in different languages and compared the results with other contemporary hate speech and cyberbully detection methods. The collected findings show that the proposed model outperforms other models on considered datasets and shows an improvement of at least 4.44% in F1 scores.
