UNBNLP at SemEval-2019 Task 5 and 6: Using Language Models to Detect Hate Speech and Offensive Language

SEMEVAL 2019  ·  Ali Hakimi Parizi, Milton King, Paul Cook ·

In this paper we apply a range of approaches to language modeling {--} including word-level n-gram and neural language models, and character-level neural language models {--} to the problem of detecting hate speech and offensive language. Our findings indicate that language models are able to capture knowledge of whether text is hateful or offensive. However, our findings also indicate that more conventional approaches to text classification often perform similarly or better.
