Abstract Cyberbullying on social media poses significant psychological risks, yet most detection systems oversimplify the task by focusing on binary classification, ignoring nuanced categories like passive-aggressive remarks or indirect slurs. To address this gap, we propose a hybrid framework combining Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF), word-to-vector (Word2Vec), and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) based models for multi-class cyberbullying detection. Our approach integrates TF-IDF for lexical specificity and Word2Vec for semantic relationships, fused with BERT’s contextual embeddings to capture syntactic and semantic complexities. We evaluate the framework on a publicly available dataset of 47,000 annotated social… More >
