Abusive comment detection in low-resource languages is a challenging task particularly when addressing gender-based abuse. Identifying abusive language targeting women is crucial for effective content moderation and fostering safer online spaces. A shared task on abusive comment detection in Tamil text organized by DravidianLangTech@NAACL 2025 allowed us to address this challenge using a curated dataset. For this task, we experimented with various machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models including Logistic Regression, Random Forest, SVM, CNN, LSTM, BiLSTMand transformer-based models such as mBERT, IndicBERT, XLMRoBERTa and many more. The dataset comprised of Tamil YouTube comments annotated with binary labels, Abusive and NonAbusive capturing explicit abuse, implicit biases and stereotypes. Our experiments demonstrated that XLM-RoBERTa achieved the highest macro F1-score(0.80), highlighting its effectiveness in handling Tamil text. This research contributes to advancing abusive language detection and natural language processing in lowresource languages particularly for addressing gender-based abuse online.

Misogynistic content in memes on social me dia platforms poses a significant challenge for content moderation, particularly in languages like Chinese, where cultural nuances and multi modal elements complicate detection. Address ing this issue is critical for creating safer online environments, A shared task on multimodal misogyny identification in Chinese memes, or ganized by LT-EDI@LDK 2025, provided a curated dataset for this purpose. Since memes mix pictures and words, we used two smart tools: ResNet-50 to understand the images and Chinese RoBERTa to make sense of the text. The data set consisted of Chinese social media memes annotated with binary labels (Misogynistic and Non-Misogynistic), capturing explicit misogyny, implicit biases, and stereo types. Our experiments demonstrated that ResNet-50 combined with Chinese RoBERTa achieved a macro F1 score of 0.91, placing second in the competition and underscoring its effectiveness in handling the complex interplay of text and visuals in Chinese memes. This research advances multimodal misogyny detection and contributes to natural language and vision processing for low-resource languages, particularly in combating gender-based abuse online.
