Multilingual Offensive Language Identification with Transformers

DeepOffense : Multilingual Offensive Language Identification with Transformers

DeepOffense provides state-of-the-art transformer models for multilingual offensive language identification.

Installation

You first need to install PyTorch. THe recommended PyTorch version is 1.5. Please refer to PyTorch installation page regarding the specific install command for your platform.

When PyTorch has been installed, you can install from source by cloning the repository and running:

git clone https://github.com/TharinduDR/DeepOffense.git
cd DeepOffense
pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the examples

Examples are included in the repository but are not shipped with the library. Please refer the examples directory for the examples. Each directory in the examples folder contains different languages.

Pretrained Models

English offensive language detection pre-trained model trained with XLM-R large model on OffensEval data can be downloaded using this link.

Once downloading it and unzipping it, they can be loaded easily. To see how to begin the training process please refer the examples directory

model = ClassificationModel("xlmroberta", "path",  use_cuda=torch.cuda.is_available())
