National Workshop (Hate Speech Detection in Social Media (Twitter) Using Neural Network )

The Department of Information Technology, College of Engineering and Computer Science will conduct national workshop entitled “Hate Speech Detection in Social Media (Twitter) Using Neural Network”. Presented by( Asst.Lect. Ara Zozan Miran) at 1:00 PM in Lebanese French University, lab. (Cisco).

Workshop Description:

Hate speech recently became a real threat in social media, and almost all social media users are intended to in different ways. Hate speech is not limited to a group or society. It affects many people and can be classified as abusive, offensive, sexism, racism, political affiliation, religious hate, nationality, skin color, disability, gender-based, ethnicity, sexual orientation, immigrants, and others. Many researchers and authorities attempt to discover new procedures to sense hate speech in social media, especially on Facebook and Twitter, and many methods, models, and algorithms are used for this purpose. One of the most valuable models for detecting hate speech is Convolutional Neural Network (CNN).
