consider the following sentences:
we need to get rid of black people
we need to get rid of black people poverty
we need to get rid of black people below poverty level
we need to get rid of black people hurdles keeping them below poverty level
the gist is that without unravelling a sentence full context, a lot of verbage can refer to a lot of different action.
focusing on profanity is the low anging fruit, so to say.
- kristopolous 5y agoThere's really no elegant or generalized way of analyzing things that has acceptable fidelity because semantic rules are so contextual and conditional. The same words can change context depending on what kind of building you're in or what time of day it is. Even common phrases like "I'm running over" could mean I'm coming to see you or I'm taking longer than I expected; completely unrelated things. Flow analysis may give you something, but content analysis is basically impossible unless there's also context analysis. But since antagonizing trolls aren't usually using profanity or necessarily a different vocabulary of words but they are engaging in patterns, that kind of engagement style analysis may be all that's actually needed
