Classification of Tweets to Identify Cyber-Bullying Attack Based on Multi-class Classification Using Machine Learning
摘要
In the era of digital evolution and global connectivity, social networking sites have emerged as significant platforms for virtual interaction. As user engagement on these platforms increases, so does the prevalence of cyber-crimes, including cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying, a pervasive threat that can originate from both strangers and acquaintances, presents substantial challenges in detection and identification. This paper reviews key advancements in countering cyber-bullying and employs a dataset of 47,000 Twitter tweets to investigate the prevalence of such incidents. Our approach involves expanding this textual dataset and applying multi-class classification techniques to categorize tweets based on their relevance to cyber-bullying. We utilize machine learning classifiers to develop and train the classification model. A comparative analysis of classifier performance demonstrates that the XGBoost model outperforms other classifiers in terms of efficiency and accuracy.
