Leveraging Intra-User and Inter-User Representation Learning for Automated Hate Speech Detection
Jing Qian, Mai ElSherief, Elizabeth M. Belding +1
Hate speech detection is a critical, yet challenging problem in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Despite the existence of numerous studies dedicated to the development of NLP hat…
An Information-theoretic Model for Knowledge Sharing in Opportunistic Social Networks
Mai ElSherief, Tamer ElBatt, Ahmed Zahran +1
In this paper we establish fundamental limits on the performance of knowledge sharing in opportunistic social net- works. In particular, we introduce a novel information-theoretic…
