Graph-based Features for Automatic Online Abuse Detection
While online communities have become increasingly important over the years,
the moderation of user-generated content is still performed mostly manually.
Automating this task is an important step in reducing the financial cost
associated with moderation, but the majority of automated approaches strictly
based on message content are highly vulnerable to intentional obfuscation. In
this paper, we discuss methods for extracting conversational networks based on
raw multi-participant chat logs, and we study the contribution of graph
features to a classification system that aims to determine if a given message
is abusive. The conversational graph-based system yields unexpectedly high
performance , with results comparable to those previously obtained with a
content-based approach
