AI-Based Misogyny Detection from Arabic Levantine Twitter Tweets

Abstract

Twitter is one of the social media platforms that is extensively used to share public opinions. Arabic text detection system (ATDS) is a challenging computational task in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) using Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based techniques. The detection of misogyny in Arabic text has received a lot of attention in recent years due to the racial and verbal violence against women on social media platforms. In this paper, an Arabic text recognition approach is presented for detecting misogyny from Arabic tweets. The proposed approach is evaluated using the Arabic Levantine Twitter Dataset for Misogynistic, and it gained recognition accuracies of 90.0% and 89.0% for binary and multi-class tasks, respectively. The proposed approach seems to be useful in providing practical smart solutions for detecting Arabic misogyny on social media.
