Garain at SemEval-2020 Task 12: Sequence Based Deep Learning for Categorizing Offensive Language in Social Media

Avishek Garain


Abstract
SemEval-2020 Task 12 was OffenseEval: Multilingual Offensive Language Identification inSocial Media (Zampieri et al., 2020). The task was subdivided into multiple languages anddatasets were provided for each one. The task was further divided into three sub-tasks: offensivelanguage identification, automatic categorization of offense types, and offense target identification.I participated in the task-C, that is, offense target identification. For preparing the proposed system,I made use of Deep Learning networks like LSTMs and frameworks like Keras which combine thebag of words model with automatically generated sequence based features and manually extractedfeatures from the given dataset. My system on training on 25% of the whole dataset achieves macro averaged f1 score of 47.763%.
