Abstract
Cyberbullying has become serious social issue with the rapid growth of social media platforms. Many current approaches rely on heavyweight pretrained networks and complex hybrid architectures, resulting in increased memory usage, long training times, and limited suitability for real-time applications. To overcome these challenges, this paper presents a lightweight and efficient hybrid DL framework for multi-class image-based cyberbullying classification, named GGTNET. Initially, an improved median bilateral filter is applied to the input images to effectively remove noise. Then, data augmentation techniques like horizontal flipping as well as random rotation can be utilized. For feature extraction, Residual GhostNet integrated with enhanced coordinate attention (RGNC) is utilized as a lightweight backbone to capture discriminative spatial features. Parallel analysis of the collected features is performed using a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and a modified Transformer architecture. A softmax classifier receives the concatenated outputs of both models for multi-class cyberbullying categorization. Additionally, the proposed network's hyperparameters are adjusted using enhanced hippopotamus optimization algorithm. The experimental analysis demonstrates achieves superior performance such as an accuracy of 99.10%.
