Gersome Shimi, Jerin Mahibha C, Thenmozhi Durairaj


Abstract
The social network is a trending medium for interaction and sharing content globally. The content is sensitive since it can create an impact and change the trends of stakeholder’s thought as well as behavior. When the content is targeted towards women, it may be abusive or non-abusive and the identification is a tedious task. The content posted on social networks can be in English, code mix, or any low-resource language. The shared task Abusive Tamil and Malayalam Text targeting Women on Social Media was conducted as part of DravidianLangTech@NAACL 2025 organized by DravidianLangTech. The task is to identify the content given in Tamil or Malayalam or code mix as abusive or non-abusive. The task is accomplished for the South Indian languages Tamil and Malayalam using pretrained transformer model, BERT base multilingual cased and achieved the accuracy measure of 0.765 and 0.677.
