Abstract

Online social media (OSM) plays a major role in today’s life by providing people with a platform to share individual contents such as photos, ideas, opinions, and videos. However, at the same time, there are many negative carry-overs on social media users, which lead to uncontrolled and offensive communication called online hate. It has become a major concern for all online social media (OSM) users as it creates nothing but a negative influence on the users. Hence, developing a better generalized online hate classifier and network analyzer across domains is the challenge. This article highlights a novel 8-stage methodology that is proposed to develop an efficient generalized online hate classifier and network analyzer both which can help in overcoming the challenges. As a preliminary step toward 8-stage process proposed, the dataset related to women is collected from Twitter and analyzed to find out the frequent words used, number of retweets increased are negative tweets.
