Abstract
This article describes the system submitted to SemEval-2020 Task 12 OffensEval 2: Multilingual Offensive Language Recognition in Social Media. The task is to classify offensive language in social media. The shared task contains five languages (English, Greek, Arabic, Danish, and Turkish) and three subtasks. We only participated in subtask A of English to identify offensive language. To solve this task, we proposed a system based on a Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (Bi-GRU) with a Capsule model. Finally, we used the K-fold approach for ensemble. Our model achieved a Macro-average F1 score of 0.90969 (ranked 27/85) in subtask A.- Anthology ID:
