Divide and Conquer: An Ensemble Approach for Hostile Post Detection in Hindi
Recently the NLP community has started showing interest towards the challenging task of Hostile Post Detection. This paper present our system for Shared Task at Constraint2021 on "Hostile Post Detection in Hindi". The data for this shared task is provided in Hindi Devanagari script which was collected from Twitter and Facebook. It is a multi-label multi-class classification problem where each data instance is annotated into one or more of the five classes: fake, hate, offensive, defamation, and non-hostile. We propose a two level architecture which is made up of BERT based classifiers and statistical classifiers to solve this problem. Our team 'Albatross', scored 0.9709 Coarse grained hostility F1 score measure on Hostile Post Detection in Hindi subtask and secured 2nd rank out of 45 teams for the task. Our submission is ranked 2nd and 3rd out of a total of 156 submissions with Coarse grained hostility F1 score of 0.9709 and 0.9703 respectively. Our fine grained scores are also very encouraging and can be improved with further finetuning. The code is publicly available.
