Monitoring Attacks on Education on Social Media

Attacks on education, students, teachers and schools have intensified in recent years. Traditional methods miss many instances of education insecurities. The Education Above All (EAA) Foundation aims to develop a Global Data Service to host data on violations against the right to education and attacks on education. We aim to assist EAA with incidents reported on social media. We plan to replace our traditional ML models with fine-tuned transformers to determine the relevancy of collected data. The relevant data contains incidents and general opinions. Therefore, we plan to develop an incident report detection model. Moreover, we aim to detect the gender of the victim in the detected incidents. Finally, the incidents will be geo-tagged at national or subnational levels.
