Attribute-specific Cyberbullying Detection Using Artificial Intelligence

Cyberbullying, a pervasive issue in the digital age, poses threats to individuals’ well-being across various attributes such as religion, age, ethnicity, and gender. This research employs artificial intelligence to detect cyberbullying instances in Twitter data, utilizing both traditional and deep learning models. The study repurposes the Sentiment140 dataset, originally intended for sentiment analysis, for the nuanced task of cyberbullying detection. Ethical considerations guide the dataset transformation process, ensuring responsible AI development. The Naive Bayes algorithm demonstrates commendable precision, recall, and accuracy, showcasing its efficacy. The Bi-LSTM model, leveraging deep learning capabilities, exhibits nuanced cyberbullying detection. The study also underscores limitations, emphasizing the need for refined models and diverse datasets.
