JEDIS, a framework for context-aware illicit drug jargon detection, is introduced, utilizing delexicalized distant supervision to train models without extensive human-labeled data. The framework achieves F1-scores of 0.6419 on Reddit Drug and 0.6320 on Silk Road Forum datasets, outperforming prior state-of-the-art systems and detecting significantly more unique jargon terms.

Key insights

  • Delexicalized distant supervision effectively trains robust drug jargon detectors by forcing models to learn from context rather than specific words, enhancing resilience to evasion tactics and euphemisms.
  • Ensembling a context-only module with a word attribute module, both domain-pretrained, leverages both contextual and lexical information for more precise and comprehensive jargon detection.
  • Careful design of negative sampling strategies and selection of optimal contextual window sizes during distant supervision are crucial for balancing precision and recall in identifying evolving and ambiguous drug jargon.
