Abstract
In this paper, we present UFAL-ULD team’s system, desinged as a part of the BLP Shared Task 1: Violence Inciting Text Detection (VITD). This task aims to classify text, with a particular challenge of identifying incitement to violence into Direct, Indirect or Non-violence levels. We experimented with several pre-trained sequence classification models, including XLM-RoBERTa, BanglaBERT, Bangla BERT Base, and Multilingual BERT. Our best-performing model was based on the XLM-RoBERTa-base architecture, which outperformed the baseline models. Our system was ranked 20th among the 27 teams that participated in the task.
