摘要

The widespread use of social media has brought people from all over the world closer, but it has also become a platform for spreading hate, offensive content, and misinformation. Various forms of media, such as text, images, audio, and video, are used to disseminate information. In this paper, we tackle the task of identifying offensive and non-offensive text in the context of women’s harassment, considering the intensity of the offense. We propose a novel approach that leverages sentiment and emotion, including their intensity, to enhance the performance of this task. To facilitate our research, we constructed a large-scale dataset called the Women and Child-related Sentiment and Emotion-Aware offensive dataset (WCSEoff) to aid in identifying offensive content. Furthermore, we develop a multi-task model that not only detects whether images contain offensive or non-offensive content and quantifies the intensity of offensiveness as the primary task but also classifies the sentiment and emotions present, along with their respective intensities, as the auxiliary task. By adopting this multitasking framework, we achieve a performance improvement of over 7% compared to approaches that do not incorporate sentiment and emotion analysis.
