The objective of the shared task, Offline Harm Potential Identification (HarmPot-ID), is to build models to predict the offline harm potential of social media texts. “Harm potential” is defined as the ability of an online post or comment to incite offline physical harm such as murder, arson, riot, rape, etc. The first subtask was to predict the level of harm potential, and the second was to identify the group to which this harm was directed towards. This paper details our submissions for the shared task that includes a cascaded SVM model, an XGBoost model, and a TF-IDF weighted Word2Vec embedding-supported SVM model. Several other models that were explored have also been detailed.
