    An Adaptive Hate Speech Detection Approach Using Neutrosophic Neural Networks for Social Media Forensics

    Yasmine M. Ibrahim1,2, Reem Essameldin3, Saad M. Darwish1,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.1, pp. 243-262, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.047840 - 25 April 2024

    Abstract Detecting hate speech automatically in social media forensics has emerged as a highly challenging task due to the complex nature of language used in such platforms. Currently, several methods exist for classifying hate speech, but they still suffer from ambiguity when differentiating between hateful and offensive content and they also lack accuracy. The work suggested in this paper uses a combination of the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to adjust the weights of two Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLPs) for neutrosophic sets classification. During the training process of the MLP, the WOA is More >

    Fangfang Shan1,2,*, Huifang Sun1,2, Mengyi Wang1,2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.79, No.1, pp. 581-605, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2024.046202 - 25 April 2024

    Abstract As social networks become increasingly complex, contemporary fake news often includes textual descriptions of events accompanied by corresponding images or videos. Fake news in multiple modalities is more likely to create a misleading perception among users. While early research primarily focused on text-based features for fake news detection mechanisms, there has been relatively limited exploration of learning shared representations in multimodal (text and visual) contexts. To address these limitations, this paper introduces a multimodal model for detecting fake news, which relies on similarity reasoning and adversarial networks. The model employs Bidirectional Encoder Representation from Transformers… More >

    Jebran Khan1, Kashif Ahmad2, Kyung-Ah Sohn1,3,*

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.47, No.3, pp. 2869-2894, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.040159 - 09 November 2023

    Abstract In recent years, the growing popularity of social media platforms has led to several interesting natural language processing (NLP) applications. However, these social media-based NLP applications are subject to different types of adversarial attacks due to the vulnerabilities of machine learning (ML) and NLP techniques. This work presents a new low-level adversarial attack recipe inspired by textual variations in online social media communication. These variations are generated to convey the message using out-of-vocabulary words based on visual and phonetic similarities of characters and words in the shortest possible form. The intuition of the proposed scheme… More >
