Abstract

This study presents a comparative analysis of three deep learning models BERT, CNN-LSTM, and VisualBERT for multimodal hate speech detection on Indonesian social media platforms, specifically Twitter and Instagram. Using a qualitative approach, the research evaluates the models' performance in classifying hate speech expressed through a combination of textual and visual data. The dataset comprises 5,000 multimodal entries reflecting diverse hate speech themes such as religion, ethnicity, gender, and political identity. Evaluation metrics include accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Results show that VisualBERT outperforms the other models with an accuracy of 90.2%, precision of 88.7%, recall of 87.9%, and F1-score of 88.3%, highlighting the effectiveness of simultaneous text and image integration. However, challenges remain in detecting subtle forms of hate speech like sarcasm and irony that require deeper cultural and contextual understanding. The study underscores the importance of multimodal approaches and culturally adapted datasets for effective hate speech detection in Indonesian social media. Findings contribute to advancing automated content moderation technologies and inform policy development aimed at fostering safer online environments.
