In the digital era, social media platforms have seen a substantial increase in the volume of online comments. While these platforms provide users with a space to express their opinions, they also serve as fertile ground for the proliferation of hate speech. Hate comments can be categorized into various types, including discrimination, violence, racism, and sexism, all of which can negatively impact mental health. Among these, sexism poses a significant challenge due to its various forms and the difficulty in defining it, making detection complex. Nevertheless, detecting and preventing sexism on social networks remains a critical issue. Recent studies have leveraged language models such as transformers, known for their ability to capture the semantic nuances of textual data. In this study, we explore different transformer models, including multiple versions of RoBERTa (A Robustly Optimized BERT Pretraining Approach), to detect sexism. We hypothesize that combining a sentiment-focused language model with models specialized in sexism detection can improve overall performance. To test this hypothesis, we developed two approaches. The first involved using classical transformers trained on our dataset, while the second combined embeddings generated by transformers with a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model for classification. The probabilistic outputs of each approach were aggregated through various voting strategies to enhance detection accuracy. The LSTM with embeddings approach improved the F1-score by 0.2% compared to the classical transformer approach. Furthermore, the combination of both approaches confirms our hypothesis, achieving a 1.6% improvement in the F1-score in each case. We determined that an F1 score of over 0.84 effectively measures sexism. Additionally, we constructed our own dataset to train and evaluate the models.

Detecting deception in emotionally grounded natural language remains a significant challenge due to the subtlety and context dependence of deceptive intent. In this work, we use a structured behavioral dataset in which participants produce truthful and deceptive statements under emotional and social constraints. To maintain label accuracy and semantic consistency, we propose a multilayer validation pipeline combining selfconsistency prompting with feedback-guided revision, implemented through the CoTAM (Chain-of-Thought Assisted Modification) method. Our results demonstrate that this framework enhances deception detection by leveraging a sentence decomposition strategy that highlights subtle emotional and strategic cues, improving interpretability for both models and human annotators.
