The prevalence of misogynistic content online poses significant challenges to ensuring a safe and inclusive digital space for women. This study presents a pipeline to classify online memes as misogynistic or non misogynistic. The pipeline combines contextual image embeddings generated using the Vision Transformer Encoder (ViTE) model with text embeddings extracted from the memes using ModernBERT. These multimodal embeddings were fused and trained using three advanced types of Kolmogorov Artificial Networks (KAN): PyKAN, FastKAN, and Chebyshev KAN. The models were evaluated based on their F1 scores, demonstrating their effectiveness in addressing this issue. This research marks an important step towards reducing offensive online content, promoting safer and more respectful interactions in the digital world.
