 Multimodal automatic hate speech detection https://jobs.inria.fr/public/classic/fr/offres/2022-04660 https://team.inria.fr/multispeech/fr/category/job-offers/ Hate speech expresses antisocial behavior. In many countries, online hate  speech is punishable by the law. Manual analysis of such content and its moderation  are impossible. An effective solution to this problem would be the automatic  detection of hate comments. Until now, for hate speech detection, only text  documents have been used. We would like to advance the knowledge about hate speech  detection by exploring a new type of document: audio documents. We would like to develop a new methodology to automatically detect hate speech,  based on Machine Learning and Deep Neural Networks using text and audio. Required Skills: The candidate should have theoretical and a moderate practical experience with Deep Learning, including a good practice in Python and an understanding of deep learning libraries like Pytorch. The knowledge of NLP or signal processing will be helpful.  Supervisors: Irina Illina, Associate Professor, HDR, Lorrain University Dominique Fohr, Senior Researcher, CNRS https://members.loria.fr/IIllina/   illina@loria.fr https://members.loria.fr/DFohr/    dominique.fohr@loria.fr MULTISPEECH is a joint research team between the Université of Lorraine, Inria,  and CNRS. It is part of department D4 “Natural language and knowledge processing”  of LORIA. Its research focuses on speech processing, with particular emphasis to  multisource (source separation, robust speech recognition), multilingual (computer  assisted language learning), and multimodal aspects. |
