Methods for detection of cyberbullying: A survey

The advent of the digital age has paved the way for a new form of bullying which often leads to social stigma. With an increase in the use of social media platforms by adolescents, cyber bullying has become quite rampant and in some extreme cases it has also resulted in suicides by the victims. Very little efforts have been taken to curb this social menace and hence, this paper tries to address this issue by reviewing the steps that can be undertaken to detect cyber bullying on online social networks. This paper aims to review the different methods and algorithms used for detection in cyber bullying and provide a comparative study amongst them so as to decide which method is the most effective approach and provides the best accuracy.
