Excited to share that our paper on KID-VLM has been accepted to #ACL2025 Findings! 🎉

This work is a nice addition to a growing but still underexplored area of #NeurosymbolicAI approaches for complex social issues 🧩 which we believe will advance AI tasks, esp. if nuance and context matter.

Detecting #OnlineToxicity is a challenging problem because it often hides behind sarcasm, dark humor, and cultural references. 🧩 To address this problem, we need models that capture explicit contextual cues and provide culturally informed decision criterion to separate #harmful from #harmless. 🧠📊
