However, the rise of these platforms has led to the proliferation of cyber-hate, which is a significant concern that has garnered attention from researchers. To combat this issue, various solutions have been proposed, utilizing Machine learning and Deep learning techniques such as Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, Convolutional Neural Networks, and Recurrent Neural Networks. These methods rely on a mathematical approach to distinguish one class from another. However, when dealing with sentiment-oriented data, a more ‘‘critical thinking’’ perspective is needed for accurate classification, as it provides a more realistic representation of how people interpret online messages. Based on a literature review conducted to explore efficient classification techniques, this study applied two machine learning classifiers, Multinomial Naive Bayes and Logistic Regression, to four online hate datasets. The results of the classifiers were optimized using bio-inspired optimization techniques such as Particle Swarm Optimization and Genetic Algorithms, in conjunction with Fuzzy Logic, to gain a deeper understanding of the text in the datasets.  \nINDEX TERMS Cyberbullying, fuzzy logic, logistic regression, multinomial Naive Bayes, PSO, VADER.  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nIt was the advancement of technology and the impulse of human communication that led to the evolution of social media, which altered how individuals interact online. Prior to the introduction of Information Communication Technology (ICT), human interactions were largely confined to geographical locations; however, Online Social Networks (OSNs) have eliminated geographical barriers [1] .  \nIt has become increasingly apparent that cyber-hate is a widespread issue duetothe pervasiveness of easy-to-use technologies. Social media platforms have emerged as a medium for the perpetration of aggressiveness and bullying, making ita dangerous and elusive phenomenon.
