Cyberbully Detection Using BERT with Augmented Texts

Guo, Xiaoyu, Anjum, Usman, Zhan, Jusin·2022·2022 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (Big Data)

Abstract

Detecting cyberbullying in texts is an essential task as it curtails and identifies s ocial p roblems. I n t his p aper, we propose an architecture called Augmented BERT which combines both data augmentation techniques and BERT for detecting cyberbullying content in texts. Many techniques have been used in prior works to augment existing data for classification tasks and BERT had been applied in many text classification problems. However, there is a lack of annotated cyberbullying texts and obtaining annotated texts is hard and expensive. We propose to use various GAN-based and autoencoder-based data augmentation techniques to generate annotated data. The augmented texts can be used to fine-tune BERT. We choose to use HateBERT which is already pre-trained on abusive language to detect cyberbullying texts. Experimental results show an increased improvement over other cyberbullying detection models.

  • BERT has demonstrated outstanding results in detecting cyberbullying because it is an extensive language model that can extract contextual information from a given text.

    “BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) has demonstrated outstanding results in detecting cyberbullying since it is an extensive language model that can extract contextual information from a given text.”

  • BERT can accurately detect bullying behavior in social media messages when the cue is subtle or indirect.

    “BERT can accurately detect bullying behavior in social media messages when the cue is subtle or indirect [22,116,117].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
