ToxiFrench: Benchmarking and Enhancing Language Models via CoT Fine-Tuning for French Toxicity Detection

arXiv CS.CL

ArXi:2508.11281v3 Announce Type: replace Detecting toxic content using language models is crucial yet challenging. While substantial progress has been made in English, toxicity detection in French remains underdeveloped, primarily due to the lack of culturally relevant, human-annotated, large-scale datasets. In this work, we release ToxiFrench, a dataset of 53,622 French online comments together with a balanced benchmark split for systematic evaluation.
