Key Takeaways
How It Works
C$^2$TU identifies candidate toxic words by matching substrings against a homophone graph, which maps similar-sounding words in Chinese. It then filters these candidates using BERT and LLMs to distinguish between toxic and non-toxic words, correcting any cloaked terms to their original toxic forms.
The LLM variant specifically addresses the challenge of calculating word probabilities by utilizing the entire context of the text, leading to more accurate detection.
