Abstract

The identification and classification of hate speech is very importance during the current digital world since this might aid in reducing negative activities on the internet and creating a safe online space. Several methodologies have been in use for this purpose, such as from the traditional approach to machine learning methods like SVM and logistic regression, to the recent ones with LSTM and BERT. These models, however, are facing serious drawbacks: biased training data, context dependency, and scalability issues. In addressing these challenges, a new approach is proposed. On the side of data pre-processing, SBPR enhances the input text by replacing sensitive phrases with sentiment-neutral synonyms and reduces biased training data. STea revolutionizes feature extraction to handle semantic context better and provides better understanding to the model. The workings of the proposed solution revolve around a BERT model amended with a Fuzzy Logic-based Attention Mechanism for classification. This novel approach exploits FLAM’s potential for capturing subtle linguistic cues and putting more attention to relevant information, hence improving accuracy and interpretability in classification tasks. Results on this proposed methodology across a wide variety of five datasets, like Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, Sarcasm, and Jigsaw Toxic, prove fairly encouraging. Whereas the model showed good performance without overfitting or getting stuck in a local minimum with such an impressive accuracy rate of 97% and minimal loss of 0.1, it establishes stability and dependability.
