Leveraging LLMs for Context-Aware Implicit Textual and Multimodal Hate Speech Detection

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2510.15685v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper investigates the use of an LLM to generate auxiliary background context for social media posts, and explores four methods to incorporate this context into the input of an SBERT-based Hate Speech Detection (HSD) classifier. These are: text concatenation, embedding concatenation, a hierarchical transformer-based fusion, and LLM-driven text enhancement. We evaluate the impact of our context generation and incorporation strategies in a textual setting on the Latent Hatred dataset of implicitly hateful tweets and a multimodal setting on the MAMI dataset of misogynous internet memes. Results are evaluated against a zero-context baseline, two previous approaches based on entity linking, and a zero-shot LLM classifier. Findings indicat
