Summary

This systematic review examines recent advances (2020 onwards) in automated hate speech detection on digital platforms using artificial intelligence and natural language processing techniques. The authors synthesise existing literature on machine learning and deep learning approaches, review available hate speech datasets, and present empirical implementations comparing classic and deep learning models whilst introducing new metrics for quantifying hatefulness and hatred intensity.

UK applicability

The methodologies and datasets reviewed may inform UK content moderation policy and platform governance, though the paper does not explicitly address UK-specific regulatory contexts (such as Online Safety Bill implementation) or regional linguistic and cultural hate speech patterns.

Key measures

Performance metrics for hate speech detection models (Logistic Regression, LSTM, multi-label architecture); hatefulness quantification; hatred intensity metrics

Outcomes reported

The paper reviews hate speech detection methodologies across textual, multi-modal, and multilingual data modalities, and implements comparative models using Logistic Regression, LSTM, and multi-label architectures. The study derives novel metrics to quantify hatefulness intensity and compares performance across classic machine learning and deep learning techniques.
