arXiv:2606.02523v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Suicide memes are memes used to express suicide-related thoughts or comment on suicide-related issues. Suicide memes are increasingly common on social media, yet remain poorly understood and potentially harmful. There is an urgent need to better understand their characteristics and to develop appropriate content moderation strategies that limits users' exposure to potentially harmful content. Currently, the absence of annotated datasets of suicide memes remains a key barrier to developing and evaluating automated moderation approaches. In this pa
The proliferation of suicide-related content on social media, especially memes, necessitates urgent development of tools for content moderation.
This new dataset addresses a critical gap in automated content moderation by providing fine-grained annotations for suicide severity and figurative language in disturbing content.
The availability of this dataset can accelerate the development and evaluation of AI moderation capabilities for sensitive and harmful online content, particularly in the realm of mental health.
