Automated Content Moderation Using Transparent Solutions and Linguistic Expertise

Veronika Solopova

Abstract: Since the dawn of Transformer-based models, the trade-off between transparency and accuracy has been a topical issue in the NLP community. Working towards ethical and transparent automated content moderation (ACM), my goal is to find where it is still relevant to implement linguistic expertise. I show that transparent statistical models based on linguistic knowledge can still be competitive, while linguistic features have many other useful applications.
