A new arXiv paper evaluates six NLP architectures for Bangla hate speech detection, finding severe performance degradation when models trained on benchmark datasets are applied to real-world social media content. BanglaBERT drops from 91.4% F1 on benchmarks to 63.4% on implicit hate speech involving sarcasm and emojis. The study highlights a broader generalization crisis for low-resource language moderation systems and finds that emoji-aware preprocessing recovers up to 12% of lost performance.
