Abstract

For the study issue of abusive language detection, English is the most commonly employed language. There are just a few works accessible in low-resource languages such as Bangla. People use these sorts of statements on many social media sites. As a result, detection of this type of language is a demand of time. Our goal is to identify this abusive Bangla language in a novel approach. There are some works that use Bengali corpus and transliterated Bengali corpus to detect abusive language. However, in this research, we utilized annotated translated Bengali corpora, and we added a formal justification in each remark for being classified as abusive or non abusive language. For evaluations, we employed a variety of machine learning classifiers where logistic regression achieves 97% accuracy.
