“…In contrast, machine learning (ML) techniques provide a more dynamic approach by classifying new expressions as either vulgar or non-vulgar without relying on predetermined lexicons. Deep learning has made significant contributions to the field of signal and image processing [23], diagnosis [24], wind forecasting [25] and time series forecasting [26].…”

The proliferation of the internet, especially on social media platforms, has amplified the prevalence of cyberbullying and harassment. Addressing this issue involves harnessing natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) techniques for the automatic detection of harmful content. However, these methods encounter challenges when applied to low-resource languages like the Chittagonian dialect of Bangla. This study compares two approaches for identifying offensive language containing vulgar remarks in Chittagonian. The first relies on basic keyword matching, while the second employs machine learning and deep learning techniques. The keyword-matching approach involves scanning the text for vulgar words using a predefined lexicon. Despite its simplicity, this method establishes a strong foundation for more sophisticated ML and deep learning approaches. An issue with this approach is the need for constant updates to the lexicon. To address this, we propose an automatic method for extracting vulgar words from linguistic data, achieving near-human performance and ensuring adaptability to evolving vulgar language. Insights from the keyword-matching method inform the optimization of machine learning and deep learning-based techniques. These methods initially train models to identify vulgar context using patterns and linguistic features from labeled datasets. Our dataset, comprising social media posts, comments, and forum discussions from Facebook, is thoroughly detailed for future reference in similar studies. The results indicate that while keyword matching provides reasonable results, it struggles to capture nuanced variations and phrases in specific vulgar contexts, rendering it less robust for practical use. This contradicts the assumption that vulgarity solely relies on specific vulgar words. In contrast, methods based on deep learning and machine learning excel in identifying deeper linguistic patterns. Comparing SimpleRNN models using Word2Vec and fastText embeddings, which achieved accuracies ranging from 0.84 to 0.90, logistic regression (LR) demonstrated remarkable accuracy at 0.91. This highlights a common issue with neural network-based algorithms, namely, that they typically require larger datasets for adequate generalization and competitive performance compared to conventional approaches like LR.
