An Analysis of Hate Speech Detection Techniques

Hate speech is any act of provoking or insulting another person or group based on their ethnicity, religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability, or other characteristics. This can be done in a variety of ways. Because of this, a study was conducted that focused on ascertaining the most effective technique for identifying hate speech. It was discovered that LSTM, a form of recurrent neural network (RNN) that is particularly good at modeling sequential data, is the most successful technique to apply. Many natural language processing (NLP) activities may be performed with it, including hate speech detection, which makes LSTM have advantages over other techniques, both in terms of long-term memory mechanisms. LSTM, also able to handle long and complex text sequences, capable of recognizing more complex patterns, able to understand and consider the context in the text, to recognize the meaning of a word or phrase in a broader context. Then, based on the dataset obtained from the Kaggle website with a total of 24783 data, then the dataset is divided into training data and validation data, with a ratio of training data to validation data. of 80%: 20%. Then, the testing step results in an accuracy value of 87.10%.
