Shiying Fan, Mareike Bassenge, Martin Steinebach · 2026
As the use of digital devices and social media grows among younger users, cybergrooming has emerged as a critical social concern for protecting vulnerable minors online.However, research on automated cybergrooming detection remains limited due to data scarcity.Building on previous studies that conceptualize cybergrooming as a form of luring communication, this paper investigates the potential transferability of corpora from luring or manipulative contexts for cybergrooming detection.
