In this paper, we describe our submissions to SemEval-2019 task 6 contest. We tackled all three sub-tasks in this task "OffensEval-Identifying and Categorizing Offensive Language in Social Media". In our system called JCTICOL (Jerusalem College of Technology Identifies and Categorizes Offensive Language), we applied various supervised ML methods. We applied various combinations of word/character ngram features using the TF-IDF scheme. In addition, we applied various combinations of seven basic preprocessing methods. Our best submission, an RNN model was ranked at the 25 th position out of 65 submissions for the most complex sub-task (C).
In this paper, we describe our submissions to SemEval-2019 contest. We tackled subtask A-"a binary classification where systems have to predict whether a tweet with a given target (women or immigrants) is hateful or not hateful", a part of task 5 "Multilingual detection of hate speech against immigrants and women in Twitter (HatEval)". Our system JCTDHS (Jerusalem College of Technology Detects Hate Speech) was developed for tweets written in English. We applied various supervised ML methods, various combinations of n-gram features using the TF-IDF scheme. In addition, we applied various combinations of eight basic preprocessing methods. Our best submission was a special bidirectional RNN, which was ranked at the 11 th position out of 68 submissions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
