| 2026 | Automated Identification of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Discriminatory Texts from Issue CommentsabstractIn an industry dominated by straight men, many developers representing other gender identities and sexual orientations often encounter hateful or discriminatory messages. Such communications pose barriers to participation for women and LGBTQ+ persons. Due to sheer volume, manual inspection of all communications for discriminatory communication is infeasible for a large-scale Free Open Source Software (FLOSS) community. To address this challenge, this study proposes an automated mechanism to identify Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Discriminatory (SGID) texts in software developers’ communications. On this goal, we trained and evaluated SGID4SE (Sexual orientation and Gender Identity Discriminatory text identification for (4) Software Engineering texts), a supervised learning-based tool. SGID4SE incorporates six preprocessing steps and 10 state-of-the-art algorithms. SGID4SE employs six distinct strategies to enhance the performance of the minority class. We empirically evaluated each strategy and identified an optimum configuration for each algorithm. In our ten-fold cross-validation-based evaluations, a BERT-based model achieves the best performance with 85.9% precision, 80.0% recall, and 82.9% F1-score for the SGID class. This model achieves 95.7% accuracy and a Matthews Correlation Coefficient of 80.4%. Our dataset and tool establish a foundation for further research in this direction.
