Key Findings
From the different explorations of our models, we explored different embedding that behaved differently. Out of the different ones, GloVe embedding worked the best for our scenario. GloVe embedding captures the semantic relationships between words based on their co-occurrence in a large corpus. This semantic richness allows the model to understand the contextual nuances of language, crucial for distinguishing hate speech from non-hateful content on Twitter. This provides a continuous vector representation for each word, enabling the CNN model to grasp the subtle variations in language, enhancing its ability to discern hate speech patterns within the dataset. GloVe embeddings, by capturing the context in which words appear, help resolve polysemy. This is particularly valuable in the context of social media where phrases can have diverse interpretations.
