Hate Speech Text Classification Using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)

This paper aims to build hate speech text classification model by applying a combination of LSTM and FastText. The features of hate speech & non-hate speech, target hate speech, and categories of the hate speech. Dataset of those features taken from previous research by Okky Ibrohim. FastText word embeddings is used for formation of text vectors that will be used as input of the LSTM training model. The evaluation results obtained by getting the level of accuracy using confusion matrix. The accuracy value of text classification in this study is 83.52% on the classification of hate speech, 78.44% on the classification of target labels for hate speech, 82.75% on the classification of the label for category of hate speech.
