Abstract

Cyberbullying, a pervasive issue in the digital age, poses a significant threat to the well-being of individuals online. This report delves into the critical role of machine learning in addressing this complex problem. Cyberbullying involves the use of electronic communication for abusive, threatening, or intimidating behavior, causing emotional distress and harm to victims. The objective of this research is to develop and implement machine learning models that can automatically detect and flag instances of cyberbullying in digital text content. The report outlines a comprehensive approach, including data collection, preprocessing, model selection, training, and evaluation. Machine learning models are trained to recognize patterns and linguistic cues associated with cyberbullying, with post-processing and continuous monitoring enhancing the detection process. Ethical considerations, privacy, and user education are central to this initiative. Real-world case studies highlight the tangible impact of machine learning in reducing the prevalence of abusive online behavior. Nevertheless, challenges such as bias and fairness persist, demanding ongoing vigilance and research. As we forge ahead, the potential for emerging technologies and interdisciplinary collaboration offers promising avenues for more effective cyberbullying detection. This report underscores the significance of machine learning in promoting a safer and more compassionate online society where individuals can connect and communicate without fear.
