This paper presents the results obtained by our SVM and XLM-RoBERTa based classifiers in the shared task Dravidian-CodeMix-HASOC 2020. The SVM classifier trained using TF-IDF features of character and word n-grams performed the best on the code-mixed Malayalam text. It obtained a weighted F1 score of 0.95 (1st Rank) and 0.76 (3rd Rank) on the YouTube and Twitter dataset respectively. The XLM-RoBERTa based classifier performed the best on the code-mixed Tamil text. It obtained a weighted F1 score of 0.87 (3rd Rank) on the code-mixed Tamil Twitter dataset.

This paper describes the development of a multilingual, manually annotated dataset for three under-resourced Dravidian languages generated from social media comments. The dataset was annotated for sentiment analysis and offensive language identificat ion for a total of more than 60,000 YouTube comments. The dataset consists of around 44,000 comments in Tamil-English, around 7,000 comments in Kannada-English, and around 20,000 comments in Malayalam-English. The data was manually annotated by volunteer annotators and has a high inter-annotator agreement in Krippendorffs alpha. The dataset contains all types of code-mixing phenomena since it comprises user-generated content from a multilingual country. We also present baseline experiments to establish benchmarks on the dataset using machine learning methods. The dataset is available on Github (https://github.com/bharathichezhiyan/DravidianCodeMix-Dataset) and Zenodo (https://zenodo.org/record/4750858#.YJtw0SYo_0M).
Social media has effectively become the prime hub of communication and digital marketing. As these platforms enable the free manifestation of thoughts and facts in text, images and video, there is an extensive need to screen them to protect individua ls and groups from offensive content targeted at them. Our work intends to classify codemixed social media comments/posts in the Dravidian languages of Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. We intend to improve offensive language identification by generating pseudo-labels on the dataset. A custom dataset is constructed by transliterating all the code-mixed texts into the respective Dravidian language, either Kannada, Malayalam, or Tamil and then generating pseudo-labels for the transliterated dataset. The two datasets are combined using the generated pseudo-labels to create a custom dataset called CMTRA. As Dravidian languages are under-resourced, our approach increases the amount of training data for the language models. We fine-tune several recent pretrained language models on the newly constructed dataset. We extract the pretrained language embeddings and pass them onto recurrent neural networks. We observe that fine-tuning ULMFiT on the custom dataset yields the best results on the code-mixed test sets of all three languages. Our approach yields the best results among the benchmarked models on Tamil-English, achieving a weighted F1-Score of 0.7934 while scoring competitive weighted F1-Scores of 0.9624 and 0.7306 on the code-mixed test sets of Malayalam-English and Kannada-English, respectively.
Unsupervised neural machine translation (UNMT) is beneficial especially for low resource languages such as those from the Dravidian family. However, UNMT systems tend to fail in realistic scenarios involving actual low resource languages. Recent work s propose to utilize auxiliary parallel data and have achieved state-of-the-art results. In this work, we focus on unsupervised translation between English and Kannada, a low resource Dravidian language. We additionally utilize a limited amount of auxiliary data between English and other related Dravidian languages. We show that unifying the writing systems is essential in unsupervised translation between the Dravidian languages. We explore several model architectures that use the auxiliary data in order to maximize knowledge sharing and enable UNMT for distant language pairs. Our experiments demonstrate that it is crucial to include auxiliary languages that are similar to our focal language, Kannada. Furthermore, we propose a metric to measure language similarity and show that it serves as a good indicator for selecting the auxiliary languages.
To obtain extensive annotated data for under-resourced languages is challenging, so in this research, we have investigated whether it is beneficial to train models using multi-task learning. Sentiment analysis and offensive language identification sh are similar discourse properties. The selection of these tasks is motivated by the lack of large labelled data for user-generated code-mixed datasets. This paper works on code-mixed YouTube comments for Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada languages. Our framework is applicable to other sequence classification problems irrespective of the size of the datasets. Experiments show that our multi-task learning model can achieve high results compared with single-task learning while reducing the time and space constraints required to train the models on individual tasks. Analysis of fine-tuned models indicates the preference of multi-task learning over single-task learning resulting in a higher weighted F1-score on all three languages. We apply two multi-task learning approaches to three Dravidian languages: Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil. Maximum scores on Kannada and Malayalam were achieved by mBERT subjected to cross-entropy loss and with an approach of hard parameter sharing. Best scores on Tamil was achieved by DistilBERT subjected to cross-entropy loss with soft parameter sharing as the architecture type. For the tasks of sentiment analysis and offensive language identification, the best-performing model scored a weighted F1-score of (66.8% and 90.5%), (59% and 70%), and (62.1% and 75.3%) for Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil on sentiment analysis and offensive language identification, respectively. The data and approaches discussed in this paper are published in Githubfootnote{href{https://github.com/SiddhanthHegde/Dravidian-MTL-Benchmarking}{Dravidian-MTL-Benchmarking}}.
Transformer-based models such as BERT, XLNET, and XLM-R have achieved state-of-the-art performance across various NLP tasks including the identification of offensive language and hate speech, an important problem in social media. In this paper, we pr esent fBERT, a BERT model retrained on SOLID, the largest English offensive language identification corpus available with over $1.4$ million offensive instances. We evaluate fBERTs performance on identifying offensive content on multiple English datasets and we test several thresholds for selecting instances from SOLID. The fBERT model will be made freely available to the community.
