Purpose Recently, various issues related to toxic comments on web portal sites and SNS are becoming a major social problem. Toxic comments can threaten Internet users in the type of defamation, personal attacks, and invasion of privacy. Over past few years, academia and industry have been conducting research in various ways to solve this problem. The purpose of this study is to develop the deep learning modeling for toxic comments classification. Design/methodology/approach This study analyzed 7,878 internet news comments through CNN classification modeling based on Highway Network and OOV process. Findings The bias and hate expressions of toxic comments were classified into three classes, and achieved 67.49% of the weighted f1 score. In terms of weighted f1 score performance level, this was superior to approximate 50~60% of the previous studies.
