Sledgehammer or Scalpel? A Fine-grained Adaptive Framework for Implicit Hate Speech
Unlike explicit attacks with obvious profanity, implicit hate speech hides malice within seemingly compliant expressions through metaphors and contextual hints, making its detection in online content review challenging. While existing PLM- or LLM-based methods perform well, they typically apply a single reasoning process to all samples. This overlooks fine-grained linguistic nuances and causes unnecessary computation for simpler cases. We observe that online hate speech is not monolithic but manifests in varied forms. We therefore define three fine-grained categories: Shallow, Targeted, and Context-Dependent. Accordingly, we propose Fine-grained Adaptive Implicit Hate speech Detection (FA...
