This research paper proposes a novel approach to forecasting online conversation derailment using graph convolutional neural networks (GCNNs). The model takes into account dialogue user dynamics and public perception influences on utterances, departing from traditional sequence-based models that treat dialogues as text streams. Empirical evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in capturing conversation dynamics, outperforming state-of-the-art methods on benchmark datasets such as CGA and CMV by 1.5% and 1.7%, respectively.

In a world where online conversations can quickly go awry, researchers are working to predict when these conversations might take a turn for the worse. To do this, they need to understand what makes certain comments or messages “toxic.” This new approach uses special kinds of computer models called graph convolutional neural networks to analyze online chats and identify patterns that might lead to trouble. By doing so, it can help moderators step in before things get out of hand.
