Development of computational linguistic resources for automated detection of textual cyberbullying threats in Roman Urdu language

Abstract

Automatic Cyberbullying detection has remained very challenging task since social media content and conversations are usually posted in unstructured free-text form leaving behind the language norms. The major concern and gap in formulating cyberbullying detection strategies is scarcity of available linguistic resources typically for newly evolved languages. Roman Urdu has recently emerged and hence is a resource poor language. Urdu has been widely known as the national language of Pakistan. However, because of socio-cultural and multilingual aspects, Roman Urdu is used widely on the Internet by Asians and more specifically Pakistanis.To fulfil the above stated gap, this research work presents guidelines for data annotation process and developed two linguistic resources: (i) Annotated corpus in Roman Urdu Language for cyberaggression and offensive language detection. The process of data annotation involved bilingual annotators instead of crowdsourcing. It has the benefit of correctly annotating instances that constitute clear cases of cyberbullying without compromising data quality. The developed corpus is highly balanced (with almost negligible skew) unlike most of the existing corpuses even in mature languages. (ii) Processing textual information for NLP tasks involves Stop-word elimination as a sub phase. Stop words carry least semantic information and increase feature space as compared to the other tokens and index terms in corpora. We have developed domain specific stop words for Roman Urdu Language considering all the lexical variants and typically in the context of aggression detection and collected data. The work has been carried out using python programming language and Pycharm IDE.

To Be Ethical and Responsible Digital Citizens or Not: A Linguistic Analysis of Cyberbullying on Social Media

“…Cyberbullying comments in our sample contained more function words, prepositions, tense markers, and numbers that could easily be filtered as stop words, implying that stop-word selection can be explored further in the future. This finding is consistent with that of Dewani et al (2021), who noted that stop words, such as "here" and "today" in some time-sensitive and locationsensitive key messages, could affect NLP results. More subtle cyberbullying may be achieved linguistically through the use of these kinds of words as modifications or similes (Tan, 2019).…”

Basic direction and realization path of PE teaching innovation in PSS based on deep learning model

“…Kappa coefficient is an index for conformance testing [36][37]. Where NT is the number of environments, N is the total index, gi is the classification result, and pi is the classification result predicted by the model [38][39].…”

Quantization and application of low-rank tensor decomposition based on the deep learning model.

“…It uses much fewer limits than the MLP network. It makes it possible to build a hidden 3D CNN model than an MLP network [33][34]. The hidden 3D CNN typically can better learn the high-order correlation between embedded dimensions, thus bringing higher accuracy for the recovery of missing data.…”
