This paper presents our submission for Abusive Comment Detection in Tamil - DravidianLangTech@NAACL 2025. The aim is to classify whether a given comment is abusive towards women. Google’s MuRIL (Khanujaet al., 2021), a transformer-based multilingual model, is fine-tuned using the provided dataset to build the classification model. The datasetis preprocessed, tokenised, and formatted for model training. The model is trained and evaluated using accuracy, F1-score, precision, andrecall. Our approach achieved an evaluation accuracy of 77.76% and an F1-score of 77.65%. The lack of large, high-quality datasets forlow-resource languages has also been acknowledged.
