Abstract: Around the world, the use of the Internet and social media has increased exponentially, and they have become an
integral part of daily life. It allows people to share their thoughts, feelings, and ideas with their loved ones through the Internet
and social media. But with social networking sites becoming more popular, cyberbullying is on the rise. Using technology as a
medium to bully someone is known as Cyberbullying. The Internet can be a source of abusive and harmful content and cause
harm to others. Social networking sites provide a great medium for harassment, bullies, and youngsters who use these sites are
vulnerable to attacks. Bullying can have long-term effects on adolescents’ ability to socialize and build lasting friendships
Victims of cyberbullying often feel humiliated. social media users often can hide their identity, which helps misuse the available
features. The use of offensive language has become one of the most popular issues on social networking. Text containing any
form of abusive conduct that displays acts intended to hurt others is offensive language. Cyberbullying frequently leads to
serious mental and physical distress, particularly for women and children, and sometimes forces them to commit suicide.
The purpose of this project is to develop a technique that is effective to detect and avoid cyberbullying on social networking sites
we are using Natural Language Processing and other machine learning algorithms. The dataset that we used for this project was
collected from Kaggle, it contains data from Twitter that is then labeled to train the algorithm. Several classifiers are used to
train and recognize bullying actions. The evaluation of the proposed Model for cyberbullying dataset shows that Logistic
Regression performs better and achieves good accuracy than SVM, Ransom forest, Naive-Bayes, and Xgboost algorithm.
Keywords: Cyberbullying, Machine learning, Natural language processing, Social media, Kaggle, Dataset.

I. INTRODUCTION
Social networking sites are great tools for connecting with people. However, as social networking has become widespread, people
are finding illegal and unethical ways to use these communities. We see that people, especially teens and young adults, are finding
new ways to bully one another over the Internet. Close to 25% of parents in a study conducted by Symantec reported that, to their
knowledge, their child has been involved in a cyberbullying incident [1]. According to the Cambridge dictionary the term
cyberbullying is defined as the activity of using the internet to harm or frighten another person, especially by sending them
unpleasant messages. Bullying has always been a part of society. With the inception of the internet, it was only a matter of time until
bullies found their way onto this new and opportunistic medium. Traditional bullying may end in physical damage as well as
emotional and psychological damage, as opposed to cyberbullying, where it is all emotional and psychological [2]. Thus, the
detection and prevention of cyberbullying are important to protect teenagers.
In this context, we suggest a cyberbullying detection model based on Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning that can
detect whether a text relates to cyberbullying or not. We have investigated several Machine learning algorithms, including Naive
Bayes, Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, Random Forest, and Xgboost in the proposed cyberbullying detection model.
the cyberbullying detection framework consists of two major parts shown in 1. The first part is called NLP (Natural Language
Processing) and the second part is named ML (Machine learning). In the first phase, datasets containing bullying texts, messages,
and posts are collected and prepared for the machine learning algorithms using natural language processing. We conduct
experiments with datasets collected from Kaggle which contains Twitter comments and posts. For performance analysis. The results
indicate that the Logistic Regression performs better and achieves good accuracy than the SVM, Ransom forest, Naive-Bayes, and
Xgboost algorithm.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section II shows several related works. Section III describes the proposed approach.
Section IV shows the experimental results and the evaluation of the proposed approach. Finally, Section V concludes the paper.

II. RELATED WORK

There are several works on machine learning-based cyber-bullying detection. A supervised machine learning algorithm was
proposed using a bag-of-words approach to detect the sentiment and contextual features of a sentence [3]. This algorithm shows
barely 61.9% of accuracy. Massachusetts Institute of Technology conducted a project called Ruminati [4] employing a support
vector machine to detect cyberbullying of you-tube comments. The researcher combined detection with common sense reasoning by
adding social parameters. The result of this project was improved to 66.7% accuracy for applying probabilistic modeling. Reynolds
et al. [5] proposed a language-based cyberbullying detection method that shows 78.5% of accuracy. The author Nandhini et al. [6]
have proposed a model that uses the Naïve Bayes machine learning approach and by their work, they achieved 91% accuracy and
got their dataset from MySpace.com, and then they proposed another model [7] Naïve Bayes classifier and genetic operations
(FuzGen) and they achieved 87% accuracy. While Chavan et al. [8] used two classifiers: logistic regression and support vector
machine. The logistic regression achieved 73.76 accuracy and 60% recall and 64.4% Precision. While for the support vector
machine they achieved 77.65% accuracy and 58% recall and 70% precision and they got their dataset from Kaggle. Furthermore,
Ting et al. [9] proposed a technique based on SNM, they collected their data from social media and then used SNA measurements
and sentiments as features. Seven experiments were made and they achieved around 97% precision and 71% recall. Furthermore,
Harsh Dani et al. [10] introduced a new framework called SICD, they used KNN for classification. Finally, they achieved 0.6105 F1
score and 0.7539 AUC score. The authors Nobata et al. [11] showed that using abusive language has increased recently, They used a
framework called Vowpal wabbit for classification, and they also developed a supervised classification methodology with NLP
features that outperform the deep learning approach, The F-Score reached 0.817 using dataset collected from comments posted on
Yahoo News and Finance.

III. PROPOSED APPROACH

The cyberbullying detection framework consists of two major parts. The first part is called NLP (Natural Language Processing) and
the second part is ML (Machine learning) [12].

A. Methodology
1) Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Cyberbullying Detection
One direction in this field is to detect offensive content using Natural Language Processing (NLP). The most explanatory method
for presenting what happens within a Natural Language Processing system is using the “levels of language” approach [13]. These
levels are used by people to extract meaning from text or spoken languages. This leveling refers to language processing relying
mainly on formal models or representations of knowledge related to these levels [14]. Moreover, language processing applications
distinguish themselves from data processing systems by using the knowledge of the language. The analysis of natural language
processing has the following levels:
• Phonology level (knowledge of linguistic sounds)
• Morphology level (knowledge of the meaningful components of words)
• Lexical level (deals with the lexical meaning of words and parts of speech analyses)
• Syntactic level (knowledge of the structural relationships between words)
• Semantic level (knowledge of meaning)
• Discourse level (knowledge about linguistic units more extensive than a single utterance)
• Pragmatic level (knowledge of the relationship of meaning to the goals and intentions of the speaker)
Yin et al. [16]; Reynolds et al. [17]; and Dinakar et al. [15] are the earliest researchers working in NLP cyberbullying detection, who
investigated predictive strength n-grams, part-speech information (e.g., first and second pronoun), and sentiment information based
on profanity lexicons for this task (with and without TF-IDF weighting). Similar features were also used for detecting events related
to cyberbullying and fine-grained categories of text in [18] To conclude, some of the common word representation techniques used
and proven to improve the classification accuracy [19] are Term Frequency (TF) [20], Term Frequency-Inverse Document
Frequency (TF-IDF) [21], Global Vectors for Word Representation (GloVe) [22], and Word2Vec [23]. One of the main limitations
of NLP is that of contextual expert knowledge. For instance, many dubious claims about the detection of sarcasm, but how one
would detect sarcasm in a short post like “Great game!” responded to a defeat. Therefore, it is not about linguistics; it is about
possessing knowledge relevant to the conversation.

2) Machine Learning in Cyberbullying Detection

Machine learning-based cyberbullying keywords is another direction of cyberbullying detection, which has been used widely by
several researchers. Moreover, Machine learning (ML) is a branch of artificial intelligence technology that gives systems the
capability to learn and develop automatically from experience without being specially programmed, often categorized as supervised,
semi-supervised or unsupervised algorithms [24]. Several training instances in supervised algorithms are utilized to build a model
that generates the desired prediction (i.e., based on annotated/labeled data). As cyberbullying is considered a classification issue
(i.e., categorizing an instance as offensive or non-offensive), several supervised learning algorithms have been employed in this
study for the further evolution of their classification accuracy and performance in detecting cyberbullying in SM, in particular on
Twitter. The classifiers adopted in the current study are as follows:

3) Logistic Regression
Logistic regression is one of the well-known techniques introduced in the field of statistics by machine learning [25]. Logistic
regression is an algorithm that constructs a separate hyper-plane between two datasets utilizing the logistic function [26]. The
logistic regression algorithm takes features (inputs) and produces a forecast according to the probability of a class suitable for the
input. For instance, if the likelihood is ≥0.5, the instance classification will be a positive class; otherwise, the prediction will be for
the other class (negative class) [27], as given in Equation (1). In logistic regression was used in the implementation of predictive
cyberbullying models.
hθ (x) = 1/1 + e −θTx

4) Logistic Light Gradient Boosting Machine

LightGBM is one of the powerful boosting algorithms in machine learning, and it is known as a gradient boosting framework that
uses a tree-based learning algorithm [28]. However, it performs better compared to XGBoost and CatBoost [29]. Gradient-based
One-side Sampling (GOSS) is used in LightGBM to classify the observations used to compute the separation. The LightGBM has
the primary advantage of modifying the training algorithm, which significantly increases the process, and leads in many cases to a
more efficient model. LightGBM has been used in many classification fields, such as online behavior detection [30] and anomalies
detection in big accounting data [31]. However, LightGBM was not commonly used in the area of cyberbullying detection. Thus, in
this study, we attempt to explore LightGBM in cyberbullying detection to evaluate its classification accuracy.
θ= θ−η · ∇θ J (θ; x(i); y(i)),
5) Random Forest
Random Forest (RF) classifier is an ensemble algorithm [32] that matches multiple decision-tab classifiers on different data sub-
samples, using average data to enhance predictive accuracy and control of fitting [33]. Ensemble algorithms combine more than one
algorithm of the same or different kinds for classifying data. RF was commonly used in the literature for the development of
cyberbullying prediction models; examples are the studies conducted by. Consequently, RF consists of several trees used randomly
to pick the variables for the classifier data. In the following four simplified steps, the construction of the RF takes place. In the
training data, N is the number of examples (cases), and M is the number of attributes in the classifier.

6) Multinomial Naive Bayes

Multinomial Naive Bayes (Multinomial NB) is widely used for document/text classification problems. However, in the
cyberbullying detection field, NB was the most commonly used to implement cyberbullying prediction models, such as in [34] and,
NB classifiers were developed by applying the theorem of Bayes among features. This model assumes that a parametric model
produces the text and makes use of training data to determine Bayes-optimal parameter estimates of the model. With those
approximations, it categorizes produced test data [35]. NB classifiers can accommodate an arbitrary number of separate continuous
or categorical functions. Assuming the functions are distinct, a task for estimating high-dimensional density is reduced to estimating
one-dimensional kernel density. The NB algorithm is a learning algorithm based on the Bayes theorem’s use with strong (naive)
assumptions of independence. Therefore, in [36], NB was discussed in detail

7) Support Vector Machine Classifier

Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a supervised machine learning classifier widely utilized in text classification [37]. SVM turns the
original feature space into a user-defined kernel-based higher-dimensional space and then seeks support vectors for optimizing the
distance (margin) between two categories. SVM originally approximates a hyperplane separating the two categories.

Volume 10 Issue V May 2022- Available at www.ijraset.com

SVM accordingly selects samples from both categories, which are nearest to the hyperplane, referred to as support vectors [38].
SVM seeks to efficiently distinguish the two categories (e.g., positive and negative). If the dataset is separable by nonlinear

Figure 1: SVM classifier implementation for a dataset

boundaries, specific kernels are implemented in the SVM to turn the function space appropriately. Soft margin is utilized to prevent
overfitting by giving less weighting to classification errors along the decision boundaries for a dataset that is not easily separable
[39]. In this research, we utilize SVM with a linear kernel for the basis function. Figure 1 shows the SVM classifier implementation
for a dataset with two features and two categories where all samples for the training are depicted as circles or stars. Support vectors
(referred to as stars) are for each of the two categories from the training samples, meaning that they are nearest to the hyperplane
among the other training samples. Two results of the training were misclassified because they were on the wrong side of the
hyperplane. Therefore, SVM was used to construct cyberbullying prediction models in [40] and found to be effective and efficient.
However, the work in [37] reported that the accuracy decreased when the data size increased, suggesting that SVM may not be ideal
for dealing with frequent language ambiguities typical of cyberbullying.

B. Implementation
This section describes the implementation Model for cyberbullying detection on Twitter, its visualization, and the proposed
methodology for conducting sentiment analysis on the dataset selected, as well as discussing the evaluation metrics of each classifier
used.
1) Dataset
Detecting cyberbullying in social media through cyberbullying keywords and using machine learning for detection are theoretical
and practical challenges. From a practical perspective, the researchers are still attempting to detect and classify offensive content
based on the learning model. However, the classification accuracy and the implementation of the right model remain a critical
challenge to construct an effective and efficient cyberbullying detection model. In this study, we used a Dataset collected from
Kaggle that consists of posts and comments taken from social media platform called Twitter. A global dataset of 26,835 tweets to
evaluate five classifiers that are commonly used in cyberbully content detection. Therefore, our dataset is taken from two sources
[8,45]; and has been divided into two parts. The first part contains 70% of the tweets used for training purposes, and the other part
contains 30% used for predications purposes. The evolution of each classifier will be conducted based on the performance metrics.
The data set contains labeled posts, these are labeled as offensive and Non-offensive. The distribution of offensive and non-
offensive data is 54.7% and 45.3% respectively as shown in fig 2.

2) Model Overview
Figure 3 illustrates the proposed model of cyberbullying detection, which has four phases: the preprocessing phase, the feature
extraction phase, the classification phase, and the evaluation phase.

Figure 3: Proposed system for Cyberbullying Detection

3) Feature Extraction
Feature extraction is a critical step for text classification in cyberbullying. In the proposed model, we have used TF-IDF and
Word2Vec techniques for feature extraction. TF-IDF is a combination of TF and IDF (term frequency-inverse document frequency),
and this algorithm is based on word statistics for text feature extraction. This model considers only the expressions of words that are
the same in all texts [72]. Therefore, TF-IDF is one of the most commonly used feature extraction techniques in text detection [16].
Word2Vec is a two-layer neural net that “vectorizes” words to process text. Its input is a corpus of text, and its output is a set of
vectors: attribute vectors representing words in that structure [49]. The Word2Vec method uses two hidden layers of shallow neural
networks, continuous bag-of-words (CBOW), and the Skip-gram model to construct a high-dimensional for each word [15]. The
Skip-gram model is based on a corpus of terms w and meaning c. The aim is to increase the likelihood of:
argmax θ Y w∈T [ Y c∈c p(c | w; θ)],
where T refers to text, and θ is a parameter of p (c |w; θ). Figure 4 illustrates the Word2Vec model architecture, where the CBOW
model attempts to find a word based on previous terms, while Skip-gram attempts to find terms that could fall in the vicinity of each
word.

4) Classification Techniques
In this study, various classifiers have been used to classify whether the tweet is cyberbullying or non-cyber bullying. The classifier
models constructed are LR, Light LGBM, SGD, RF, AdaBoost, naïve Bayes, and SVM. The effectiveness of a proposed model was
examined in this study by utilizing serval evaluation measures to evaluate how successfully the model can differentiate
cyberbullying from non-cyberbullying. In this study, seven machine learning algorithms have been constructed, namely, LR, Light
LGBM, SGD, RF, AdaBoost, Naive Bayes, and SVM. It is essential to review standard assessment metrics in the research
community to understand the performance of conflicting models. The most widely used criteria for evaluating SM platforms (e.g.,
Twitter) with cyberbullying classifiers are as follows: Accuracy Accuracy calculates the ratio of the actual detected cases to the
overall cases, and it has been utilized to evaluate models of cyberbullying predictions in [60,65,79]. Therefore, it can be calculated
as follows:
Accuracy = (tp + tn) (tp + fp + tn + fn)
where tp means true positive, tn is a true negative, fp denotes false positive, and fn is a false negative.

IV. RESULTS
The proposed model utilizes the selected five ML classifiers with feature extraction techniques. These techniques are set empirically
to achieve higher accuracy. For instance, LR achieved the best accuracy in our dataset, where the classification accuracy 94%. RF
and XgBoost have achieved almost the same accuracy 87.6% and 86.9% respectively, but RF performs better than XgBoost.
Multinomial NB has achieved low accuracy with a detection rate of 84.1% and we can notice that the excellent recall levels out the
low precision. Finally, SVM has achieved the lowest accuracy in our dataset, as shown in Table 1. Nevertheless, it achieved the
best recall compared to the rest of the classifiers implemented in the current research. Furthermore, some studies have looked at the
automatic cyberbullying detection incidents; for example, an effect analysis based on lexicon and SVM was found to be effective in
detecting cyberbullying. However, the accuracy decreased when data size increased, suggesting that SVM may not be ideal for
dealing with common language ambiguities typical of cyberbullying [61]. This proves that the low accuracy achieved by SVM is
due to the large dataset used in this research.
This research computed the five classifiers’ performances using the F-measure metric, as shown in Figure 4. Furthermore, the
performances of all ML classifiers are enhanced by producing additional data utilizing data Future Internet 2020, 12, 187 14 of 20
synthesizing techniques. Multinomial NB assumes that every function is independent, but this is not true in real situations [115].
Table 1: Accuracy of Algorithms

Therefore, it does not outperform LR in our research as well. As stated in [116], LR performs well for the binary classification
problem and works better as data size increases. LR updates several parameters iteratively and tries to eliminate the error.
Simultaneously, SGD uses a single sample and uses a similar approximation to update the parameters. Therefore, SGD performs
almost like LR, but the error is not as reduced as in LR [92]. Consequently, it is not surprising that LR also outperforms the other
classifiers in our study.

V. CONCLUSION
Cyberbullying has become a severe problem in modern societies. This paper proposed a cyber-bully detection model whereby
several classifiers based on NLP(TF-IDF) and Word2Vec feature extraction have been used. Furthermore, various methods of text
classification based on machine learning were investigated. The experiments were conducted on a global Twitter dataset. The
experimental results indicate that LR achieved the best accuracy in our dataset, where the classification accuracy and 94.01%. This
means that LR performs better than other classifiers. Moreover, during the experiments, it was observed that LR performs better as
data size increases and obtains the best prediction time compared to other classifiers used in this study. The feature extraction is a
critical aspect of machine learning to enhance the detection accuracy. In this paper, we did not investigate many feature extraction
techniques. Thus, one of the improvements is to incorporate and test different feature extractions to improve the detection rate of
both classifiers LR and SGD. Another limitation that we are working on is building a real-time cyberbully detection platform, which
will be useful to instantly detect and prevent the cyberbullying. Another research direction is working on cyberbully detection in
various languages, mainly in Telugu and Hindi contexts.
