UA at SemEval-2019 Task 5: Setting A Strong Linear Baseline for Hate Speech Detection
This paper describes the system developed at the University of Alicante (UA) for the SemEval 2019 Task 5: Shared Task on Multilingual Detection of Hate. The purpose of this work is to build a strong baseline for hate speech detection, using a traditional machine learning approach with standard textual features, which could serve in a near future as a reference to compare with deep learning systems. We participated in both task A (Hate Speech Detection against Immigrants and Women) and task B (Aggressive behavior and Target Classification). Despite its simplicity, our system obtained a remarkable F1-score of 72.5 (sixth highest) and an accuracy of 73.6 (second highest) in Spanish (task A), outperforming more complex neural models from a total of 40 participant systems.

A strong baseline for question relevancy ranking
The best systems at the SemEval-16 and SemEval-17 community question answering shared tasks -- a task that amounts to question relevancy ranking -- involve complex pipelines and manual feature engineering. Despite this, …
