Online discussions, panels, talk page edits, etc., often contain harmful conversational content i.e., hate speech, death threats and offensive language, especially towards certain demographic groups. For example, individuals who identify as members of the LGBTQIA+ community and/or BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) are at higher risk for abuse and harassment online. In this work, we first introduce a real-world dataset that will enable us to study and understand harmful online conversational content. Then, we conduct several exploratory data analysis experiments to gain deeper insights from the dataset. We later describe our approach for detecting harmful online Anti-LGBTQIA+ conversational content, and finally, we implement two baseline machine learning models (i.e., Support Vector Machine and Logistic Regression), and fine-tune 3 pre-trained large language models (BERT, RoBERTa, and HateBERT). Our findings verify that large language models can achieve very promising performance on detecting online Anti-LGBTQIA+ conversational content detection tasks.

该研究使用真实数据集，通过数据分析和机器学习模型，有效检测在线讨论中有害的LGBTQIA+相关言论，证实大型语言模型在此任务中具有良好性能。
