Abstract

Online antisocial behavior is a social problem and a public health threat. A manifestation of such behavior may be fun for a perpetrator, however, can drive a victim into depression, self-confinement, low self-esteem, anxiety,anger, and suicidal ideation. Online platforms such as Twitter and Facebook can sometimes become breeding grounds for such behavior. These platforms may have measures in place to deter online antisocial behavior, however, such behavior still prevails. Most of the measures rely on users reporting to platforms for intervention. In this paper, we advocate a more proactive approach based on natural language processing and machine learning that can enable online platforms to actively look for signs of antisocial behavior and intervene before it gets out of control. By actively searching for such behavior, social media sites can possibly prevent dire situations that can lead to someone committing suicide.

Conference

Conference	13th International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems (CISIS-2019)
Country/Territory	Australia
City	Sydney
Period	03/07/19 → 05/07/19
Other	The aim of the conference is to deliver a platform of scientific interaction between the three interwoven challenging areas of research and development of future ICT-enabled applications: Software Intensive Systems, Complex systems and Intelligent Systems. Software Intensive Systems are systems, which heavily interact with other systems, sensors, actuators, devices, other software systems and users. More and more domains are involved with software intensive systems, e.g. automotive, telecommunication systems, embedded systems in general, industrial automation systems and business applications. Moreover, the outcome of web services delivers a new platform for enabling software intensive systems. The conference is thus focused on tools, practically relevant and theoretical foundations for engineering software intensive systems.
