Multimedia content on social media is rapidly evolving, with memes gaining
prominence as a distinctive form. Unfortunately, some malicious users exploit
memes to target individuals or vulnerable communities, making it imperative to
identify and address such instances of hateful memes. Extensive research has
been conducted to address this issue by developing hate meme detection models.
However, a notable limitation of traditional machine/deep learning models is
the requirement for labeled datasets for accurate classification. Recently, the
research community has witnessed the emergence of several visual language
models that have exhibited outstanding performance across various tasks. In
this study, we aim to investigate the efficacy of these visual language models
in handling intricate tasks such as hate meme detection. We use various prompt
settings to focus on zero-shot classification of hateful/harmful memes. Through
our analysis, we observe that large VLMs are still vulnerable for zero-shot
hate meme detection.

这项研究探讨了视觉语言模型在处理令人费解任务（如仇恨迷因检测）中的有效性，并观察到大型视觉语言模型在零样本仇恨迷因检测方面仍然存在脆弱性。
