Detoxify: A framework for abusive text transformation using LLMs

arXiv:2507.10177v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Although Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated significant advancements in natural language processing tasks, their effectiveness in the classification and transformation of abusive text into non-abusive versions remains an area for exploration. In this study, we present Detoxify: a framework that employs LLMs to transform abusive text (tweets and reviews) containing hate speech and profanity into non-abusive text while retaining the original intent. We evaluate the performance of four state-of-the-art LLMs, such as Gemini, GPT

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of LLMs and increasing societal concerns about harmful content necessitate robust solutions for content moderation and ethical AI use.

Why it’s important

This development addresses a critical challenge for LLM deployment in public-facing applications, potentially improving user experience and mitigating platform risks.

What changes

New frameworks for LLM-based content moderation can lead to more nuanced and effective handling of abusive text, moving beyond simple removal to transformation.

Winners
