Abuse Detection in Online Conversations

This software was designed to detect abusive messages in online conversations. Two main approaches are implemented: a content-based approach and a graph-based approach, which can also be used jointly. This software was applied to a corpus of chat messages written in French, which unfortunately cannot be published due to legal matters. The conversational graphs extracted from this text are publicly available on Zenodo, though.
