Abstract

This model introduces a new, explainable BERT-based architecture for hate speech detection and filtering in real time, in several social media platforms. Enjoying the advantages of continual learning and light-weight transformer variants, the proposed method remains effective with the newly emerged slurs and dynamic linguistic patterns, meanwhile, it can sustain low latency performance. Multilinguality and code‑mixing are supported through proprietary tokenizers and regional adaptor modules, ensuring strong performance on dialects and languages. For a greater level of transparency, associated explainable AI techniques e.g. SHAP, LIME help in better understanding of classification decisions and make use of user‑history-aware components to help disambiguate context‑sensitive expressions. A fine‑grained multi‑label classification orders multiple hate classes, and dynamic hate lexicon extension is integrated to keep pace with offensive terminologies. Extensive cross‑platform validation yields better generalization and fairness to new datasets.
