    abstract = "This document describes the submission of team YNU-HPCC to SemEval-2019 for three Sub-tasks of Task 6: Sub-task A, Sub-task B, and Sub-task C. We have submitted four systems to identify and categorise offensive language. The first subsystem is an attention-based 2-layer bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM). The second subsystem is a voting ensemble of four different deep learning architectures. The third subsystem is a stacking ensemble of four different deep learning architectures. Finally, the fourth subsystem is a bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) model. Among our models, in Sub-task A, our first subsystem performed the best, ranking 16th among 103 teams; in Sub-task B, the second subsystem performed the best, ranking 12th among 75 teams; in Sub-task C, the fourth subsystem performed best, ranking 4th among 65 teams."
