AbstractThe contemporary period is scarred by the predominant place of social media in everyday life. Despite social media being a useful tool for communication and social gathering it also offers opportunities for harmful criminal activities. One of these activities is cyber-bullying enabled through the abuse and mistreatment of the internet as a means of bullying others virtually. As a way of minimising this occurrence, research into computer-based researched is carried out to detect cyber-bullying by the scientific research community. An extensive literature search shows that supervised learning techniques are the most commonly used methods for cyber-bullying detection. However, some non-supervised techniques and other approaches have proven to be effective towards cyber-bullying detection. This paper, therefore, surveys recent research on non-supervised techniques and offers some suggestions for future research in textual-based cyber-bullying detection including detecting roles, detecting emotional state, automated annotation and stylometric methods.
