Creating a cyberbullying detection application involves several steps and requires specific tools and

knowledge. Here is a comprehensive guide to help you get started:

### Requirements and Basic Knowledge

#### Technical Skills:

1. **Python Programming:** Familiarity with Python is essential.

2. **Machine Learning Basics:** Understanding of supervised learning, classification algorithms, and

model evaluation metrics.

3. **Natural Language Processing (NLP):** Basics of text preprocessing, tokenization, and feature
extraction.

4. **Web Development:** Knowledge of Flask for building web applications.

5. **Data Handling:** Experience with pandas for data manipulation and preprocessing.

#### Tools and Libraries:

1. **Python 3.8+**

2. **Flask:** For building the web application.

3. **pandas:** For data manipulation and preprocessing.

4. **nltk (Natural Language Toolkit):** For text preprocessing.

5. **scikit-learn:** For implementing machine learning models.

6. **Jupyter Notebook:** For experimentation and prototyping.

### Step-by-Step Approach

#### Step 1: Set Up the Environment

1. **Install Python and pip:**

- Ensure Python and pip are installed on your machine. You can download Python from
[python.org](https://www.python.org/).

2. **Create a Virtual Environment:**

```bash
 python -m venv cyberbullying_env

source cyberbullying_env/bin/activate # On Windows use `cyberbullying_env\Scripts\activate`

```

3. **Install Required Libraries:**

```bash

pip install Flask pandas nltk scikit-learn

```

#### Step 2: Data Collection

1. **Obtain a Dataset:**

- Use a dataset like the "Cyberbullying Detection" dataset from Kaggle or any publicly available
dataset.

2. **Load the Dataset:**

```python

import pandas as pd

data = pd.read_csv('path_to_dataset.csv')

```

#### Step 3: Data Preprocessing

1. **Text Cleaning and Tokenization:**

- Install NLTK and download required resources:

```python

import nltk

nltk.download('stopwords')

nltk.download('punkt')

from nltk.corpus import stopwords

 from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize

```

2. **Preprocess Text Data:**

```python

stop_words = set(stopwords.words('english'))

def preprocess_text(text):

text = text.lower()

tokens = word_tokenize(text)

tokens = [word for word in tokens if word.isalnum() and word not in stop_words]

return ' '.join(tokens)

data['cleaned_text'] = data['text'].apply(preprocess_text)

```

3. **Feature Extraction:**

```python

from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer

vectorizer = TfidfVectorizer()

X = vectorizer.fit_transform(data['cleaned_text'])

y = data['label'] # Assuming 'label' is the column with binary labels

```

#### Step 4: Model Training

1. **Split Data into Training and Testing Sets:**

```python

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

 X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

```

2. **Train a Simple Machine Learning Model:**

```python

from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression

from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score, precision_score, recall_score, f1_score

model = LogisticRegression()

model.fit(X_train, y_train)

y_pred = model.predict(X_test)

print('Accuracy:', accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred))

print('Precision:', precision_score(y_test, y_pred))

print('Recall:', recall_score(y_test, y_pred))

print('F1 Score:', f1_score(y_test, y_pred))

```

#### Step 5: Build the Web Interface

1. **Set Up Flask Application:**

```python

from flask import Flask, request, render_template

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')

def home():

return render_template('index.html')

@app.route('/predict', methods=['POST'])
 def predict():

text = request.form['text']

processed_text = preprocess_text(text)

vectorized_text = vectorizer.transform([processed_text])

prediction = model.predict(vectorized_text)

return render_template('result.html', prediction=prediction[0])

if __name__ == '__main__':

app.run(debug=True)

```

2. **Create HTML Templates:**

- Create `templates/index.html`:

```html

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Cyberbullying Detection</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>Cyberbullying Detection</h1>

<form action="/predict" method="post">

<textarea name="text" rows="10" cols="30"></textarea>

<br>

<input type="submit" value="Predict">

</form>

</body>

</html>

```

- Create `templates/result.html`:
 ```html

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Prediction Result</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>Prediction Result</h1>

<p>{{ prediction }}</p>

<a href="/">Back to Home</a>

</body>

</html>

```

#### Step 6: Documentation

1. **Document the Process:**

- Describe each step taken from data collection, preprocessing, model training, and web interface
development.

- Include code snippets and explanations for each step.

2. **User Guide:**

- Provide instructions on how to use the web interface.

- Explain how to input text and interpret the results.

### Summary

By following these steps, you’ll be able to create a basic cyberbullying detection application for your
minor project. Here’s a quick recap:

1. **Set Up the Environment:** Create a virtual environment and install necessary libraries.

2. **Data Collection:** Obtain and load a dataset.

3. **Data Preprocessing:** Clean and preprocess text data.

4. **Model Training:** Train a machine learning model on the preprocessed data.

5. **Build Web Interface:** Develop a Flask web application for user interaction.

6. **Documentation:** Document the entire process and provide a user guide.

Once you have completed these steps, you will have a presentable MVP for your minor project. This
will set a solid foundation for further enhancements and expansion in your major project.
