    The rapid advancement of internet technology, widespread smartphone usage, and the rise of social media platforms have drastically transformed the global communication landscape. These developments have resulted in both positive and negative consequences. On the one hand, they have facilitated the dissemination of information, connecting individuals across vast distances and fostering diverse perspectives. On the other hand, the ease of access to online platforms has led to the proliferation of misinformation, often in the form of fake news. Detecting and combatting fake news has become crucial to mitigate its adverse effects on society. This paper presents an investigation into fake news detection in the Thai language. It addresses current limitations in this domain by proposing a novel two-channel deep learning model named HANCaps, which integrates BERT and FastText embeddings with a hierarchical attention network and capsule network. The HANCaps model utilizes the BERT language model as one channel input, while the other channel incorporates pre-trained FastText embeddings. The proposed model undergoes evaluation using a benchmark Thai fake news dataset, and extensive experimentation demonstrates that HANCaps outperforms state-of-the-art methods by up to 3.28% in terms of F1 score, showcasing its superior performance.

    The advent of technology has led to people sharing their views openly like never before. Parallelly, cyberbullying and hate speech content have also increased as a side effect that is potentially hazardous to society. While plenty of research is going on to detect online hate speech in English, there is very little research on the Thai language. To investigate how noisy Thai posts can be handled effectively, in this work, we have developed a two-channel deep learning model FastThaiCaps based on BERT and FastText embedding along with a capsule network. The input to one channel is the BERT language model, and that to the other is the pre-trained FastText embedding. Our model has been evaluated on a benchmark Thai dataset categorized into four categories, i.e., peace speech, neutral speech, level-1 hate speech, and level-2 hate speech. Experiments show that FastThaiCaps outperforms state-of-the-art methods by up to 3.11% in terms F1 score.

    Social media platforms have both positive and negative impacts on users in diverse societies. One of the adverse effects of social media platforms is the usage of hate and offensive language, which not only fosters prejudice but also harms the vulnerable. Additionally, a person’s sentiment and emotional state heavily influence the intended content of any social media post. Despite extensive research being conducted to detect online hate speech in English, there is a lack of similar studies on low-resource languages such as Thai. The recent enactment of laws like the “right to explanations” in the General Data Protection Regulation has stimulated the development of interpretable models rather than solely focusing on performance. Motivated by this, we created the first benchmark hate speech corpus, called Ex-ThaiHate, in the Thai language. Each post is annotated with four labels, namely hate, sentiment, emotion, and rationales (explainability), which specify the phrases that are responsible for annotating the post as hate. In order to investigate the effect of sentiment and emotional information on detecting hate speech posts, we propose a unified generative framework called GenX, which redefines this multi-task problem as a text-to-text generation task to simultaneously solve four tasks: hate-speech identification, rationale detection, sentiment, and emotion detection. Our extensive experiments demonstrate that GenX significantly outperforms all baselines and state-of-the-art models, thereby highlighting its effectiveness in detecting hate speech and identifying the rationales in low-resource languages.
