The recent research in multilingual hate speech detection has seen significant advancements, particularly in addressing the complexities of low-resource and code-mixed languages. Innovations in dataset creation and model fine-tuning have been pivotal, enabling more nuanced and culturally sensitive detection mechanisms. Notably, the integration of large language models (LLMs) has shown promise in handling the intricacies of regional dialects and slang, although challenges remain in precision and the preservation of cultural nuances through translation. The field is moving towards more comprehensive and multi-label classification approaches, which are crucial for understanding and moderating hate speech across diverse linguistic and cultural contexts. Additionally, the development of centralized dataset repositories for underrepresented languages is fostering collaboration and innovation, paving the way for more inclusive NLP capabilities.
