Detecting abusive language in social media conversations is challenging due to the contextual nature of abusiveness.
Traditional Abusive Language Detection (ALD) models often overlook the conversational context, leading to unreliable performance metrics.
A novel approach is proposed in this paper using graph neural networks (GNNs) to model social media conversations as graphs, capturing comment relationships.
The GNN model outperforms context-agnostic baselines and linear context-aware methods, achieving significant improvements in F1 scores.
