Abstract: Hate speech, as public expression of hatred or offensive discourse targeting race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation, is widespread on social media. This study assesses BERT-based models for multi-label hate speech detection, emphasizing how text length impacts model performance. Models tested include BERT, BERT-CNN, BERT-LSTM, BERT-BiLSTM, and BERT with two LSTM layers. Overall, BERT-BiLSTM achieved the highest (82.00%) and best performance on longer texts (83.20% ) with high and , highlighting its ability to capture nuanced context. BERT-CNN excelled in shorter texts, achieving the highest (79.80%) and an of 79.10%, indicating its effectiveness in extracting features in brief content. BERT-LSTM showed balanced and across text lengths, while BERT-BiLSTM, although high in r, had slightly lower on short texts due to its reliance on broader context. These results highlight the importance of model selection based on text characteristics: BERT-BiLSTM is ideal for nuanced analysis in longer texts, while BERT-CNN better captures key features in shorter content.
