论文提出 Contextual Stress Framework：毒性应被视为交际事件的语境属性
Toxicity Is a Property of Communicative Events: A Contextual Stress Measurement Framework for NLP
AI 导读
一篇立场论文提出 Contextual Stress Framework（CSF），主张毒性检测不应被当作孤立文本的单标签分类，而应作为对情境化交际伤害的语境测量。CSF 将毒性定义为感知到的规范违反与所引发压力或干扰之间的关系，并解释了文本内在检测器为何会过度标记方言或 reclaimed 语言、漏掉编码或语用辱骂，且在保义变换下表现脆弱。

Abstract:Toxicity detection has become core safety infrastructure for online moderation, dataset filtering, and deployed language-model systems. Yet most detectors still treat toxicity as an intrinsic property of isolated text. This position paper argues that toxicity detection should be evaluated as the contextual measurement of situated communicative harm, rather than as single-label text classification. Toxicity is not contained in words alone; it emerges when a communicative act is interpreted by an audience within a normative and social context.
We introduce the Contextual Stress Framework (CSF), which defines toxicity as a relation between perceived norm violation and induced stress or disruption. CSF explains why text-intrinsic detectors overflag dialectal or reclaimed language, miss coded or pragmatic abuse, and remain brittle under meaning-preserving transformations.
