Abstract

Cyberbullying is a burning issue on online communication sites, and this situation needs the expertise of experts to develop effective detection systems that can detect this issue. The study presents a machine learning architecture that is highly efficient in detecting cyberbullying by binary classification with supervision in two stages. The model is tested on a labeled dataset that demonstrates its capability to achieve high accuracy in predicting results when it goes through different evaluation tests. The experimental findings reveal that the system achieves a classification accuracy of 95.3 percent. The confusion matrix indicates that the system made 136 correct normal detections, 169 correct bullying detections, 11 false positive errors, and 4 false negative errors. The model is very robust, as shown by the results of the evaluations that apply both probabilistic measures and ranking-based measures. The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve has an AUC of 0.993, indicating excellent separation of classes, and the Precision Recall (PR) curve has an AUC of 0.994, indicating that there is high precision at all recall levels. The analysis of the score distribution shows that there are normal and bullying classes as separate groups, which confirms that the model is well-calibrated and has the ability to make decisions. The findings reveal that the suggested approach allows recognizing the content of cyberbullying correctly, so it can be used in the real life, as the task of social media monitoring and online safety systems. The ongoing studies will perform in two primary directions: first, it will come up with improved ways of generalizing findings to other datasets and secondly, it will come up with real time detection systems.
