Enhanced Heterogeneous Stacked Ensemble Machine Learning Model For Detecting Nigerian Politically Motivated Cyberhate

Hate speech is a universal problem from time immemorial. The high adoption of social media (SM) has made it a problem of gigantic proportions during elections in Nigeria. The anonymity enjoyed by the users is the main reason for the high volume of cyber hate in Nigeria's social media space. Pol...

Computer science Hate speech is a universal problem from time immemorial. The high adoption of social media (SM) has made it a problem of gigantic proportions during elections in Nigeria. The anonymity enjoyed by the users is the main reason for the high volume of cyber hate in Nigeria's social media space. Politicians usually circulate different politically motivated hate messages on social media during elections.

description Hate speech is a universal problem from time immemorial. The high adoption of social media (SM) has made it a problem of gigantic proportions during elections in Nigeria.
