Abstract

Hate speech is about making insults or stereotypes towards a person or a group of people based on its characteristics such as origin, race, gender, religion, and more. Thus, hate speech can be classified using machine learning and deep learning methods, and it gives a distinguished output from one class to another. Also, every day tons of data are getting accumulated from social media. However, the single deep learning model cannot provide the diversified feature for text classification due to data characteristics. Therefore, this paper proposes two methods for hate speech classification. Initially, a majority voting classifier with three deep learning hybrid models is presented. Finally, a multi-channel convolutional neural network with a bi-directional gated recurrent unit and capsule network is introduced. The proposed approach helps in improving the classification accuracy and ground truth information by reducing ambiguity. The proposed models are verified using six different data sets. The experimental outcomes demonstrate that the proposed methods achieve adequate results for hate speech classification.
