    Trigger Event and Hate Content: Insights from Twitter Analytics
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Chetty, N.; Alathur, S.
    The problematic act damages the target and seeds the fear in the neighborhood. Social media sites are used for planning and coordinating problematic acts. The problematic act is a trigger event which influences hatred feeling. The objective of the paper is to analyze the aftermath of a recent problematic incident in the southern part of the Asian continent from Twitter content. After the problematic incident, citizens used to share their views over social media sites. A total of 48,819 opinions shared through Twitter social media are collected and analyzed using the software developed in the R programming language. The results show hatred against the problematic act through different related emotions. Results also contain more negative tweets which are almost thrice the positive tweets. Fear and anger emotions exhibit a high degree of emotions than the other. © 2019 IEEE.

    Honour, hate and violence in social media: Insights from India
    (Inderscience Publishers, 2019) Chetty, N.; Alathur, S.
    Honour-based hate content is predominantly generated from family hate content and may affect humanity. In the Indian context, analysis of multiple resources such as literature, reported articles and social media sites pertinent to honour-based hate content is less. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to identify and understand the influencing factors and emotions of honour-based hate content. A review of literature, news articles on honour killing and the analysis of Twitter content are made to attain the purpose. In India, factor like marrying a person against family members' ideologies is observed as dominating among other factors of honour-based hate content. It has been also observed that emotions such as anger, fear, disgust and sadness are used to express hate. Possible impacts of honour-based hate content on family and society are discussed. The analysis of emotions about honour and hate content increases novelty of the article. © 2019 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

    An architecture for digital hate content reduction with mobile edge computing
    (Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, 2020) Chetty, N.; Alathur, S.
    Mobile devices with social media applications are the prevalent user equipment to generate and consume digital hate content. The objective of this paper is to propose a mobile edge computing architecture for regulating and reducing hate content at the user's level. In this regard, the profiling of hate content is obtained from the results of multiple studies by quantitative and qualitative analyses. Profiling resulted in different categories of hate content caused by gender, religion, race, and disability. Based on this information, an architectural framework is developed to regulate and reduce hate content at the user's level in the mobile computing environment. The proposed architecture will be a novel idea to reduce hate content generation and its impact. © 2019 Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications
