The prevalence of cyberbullying on Twitter demands a fast and transparent automated moderation system. This study designs an efficient and explainable binary cyberbullying detection system using DistilBERT and the SHAP-based Explainable AI (XAI) method. The dataset, sourced from Kaggle, consists of 13,169 raw data filtered into 12,548 clean tweets. Preprocessing was conducted without stemming and stopword removal to preserve the language's semantic context, setting a max_length of 48 tokens. The pre-trained distilbert-base-multilingual-cased model was evaluated on an 80% training and 20% testing data split, while model transparency was validated using SHAP's PartitionExplainer algorithm. Evaluation results show DistilBERT performed robustly, achieving 84% accuracy, 84% precision, 86% F1-score, and 88% recall in detecting bullying, with an Area Under Curve (AUC) score reaching 0.9207. Locally, SHAP evaluation proved that the model concentrated heavy penalty weights on abusive words like "brengsek". Globally, SHAP revealed a unique phenomenon where the most important features were dominated by neutral vocabularies such as "times. roman" and "pendidikan", which the model cleverly utilized as strong discriminative indicators to validate normal texts. In conclusion, the integration of DistilBERT and SHAP yields a classification system that is not only accurate and efficient but also transparent and logically reasoned.
The method, ECCOLA, is presented, which aims at making the high-level AI ethics principles more practical, making it possible for developers to more easily implement them in practice.

Training AI agents with reinforcement learning can be challenging because their tools, context, and decision-making are managed by complex frameworks. Agent Lightning connects existing agents to RL training, making it easier to improve them without rebuilding them. The post Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses appeared first on Microsoft Research.

Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity. The post What AI gets wrong and what failure teaches us appeared first on Microsoft Research.
