Abstract —The fast expansion of online platforms created a
record-setting rise in hate speech, undermining safe and wel
coming online spaces. This project contributes a multilingual
hate speech system based on meta-learning and transfer learning
to achieve improved detection for languages. We employ a pre
trained mBERT model for the English language and fine-tune
it to the low-resource language of Hindi, Hinglish, Marathi
and Bengali using meta-learning and transfer learning methods.
With the incorporation of these practices, the system generalizes
remarkably well to a new language given limited labeled exam
ples, with impressive accuracy, scalability, and versatility. The
proposed method greatly increases detection rates, reduces bias,
and promotes healthy digital interactions ultimately leading to
an improved safer online space. Besides, the framework of the
system supports easy adaptation to other languages with small
corpora.
