Identifying and Categorizing Offensive Language in

Social Media (OffensEval)

Fine tuning BERT achieved state-of-the-art performance on a number of natural language


understanding tasks. In this research, we improve BERT performance using cost-sensitive learning and
ensemble technique. The results shows to beaten state of the art on Automatic Categorization of
Offense Types (subtask B), ranked 2nd on Offensive Language Identification (subtask A), and ranked
2nd on Offense Target Identification (subtask C)

Introduction Objective
Social media has become a necessity for some people. Twitter is one of them with To build system, find the best configuration, and compare system performance with
active users monthly 353 million users (Wearesocial, Digital 2020 October Statshot previous research on identifying and categorizing offensive language in social media by
Report). Freedom of expression on twitter is misused for some people to carry out adapting cost-sensitive learning techniques, and ensemble BERT models.
offensive actions such as cursing, hate speech, and swearing against ethnicity, race
and religion by using
offensive language.

Methodology
of the task at Semantic Evaluation task 6 that aims to solve these problems (Zampieri
et al., 2019). This task use OLID dataset. The task consist of three subtask: offensive - Cost Sensitive Learning
language identification (subtask A), automatic categorization of offense (subtask B), Cost-Sensitive learning is a type of learning in data mining which takes into account the
offense target identification (subtask C). costs when the model misclassifies data or types other costs. This technique aims to
tackle the imbalanced dataset problem in this research (OLID dataset).
Based on previous research at OLID dataset, BERT achieved best result for all three
subtask. In this research, we trying to improve BERT performance at OLID dataset by - Ensemble
adapting cost-sensitive learning (Madabushi et all., 2020), and ensemble BERT Ensemble in this research use multiple BERT models to obtain prediction result by
models (Risch & Krestel., 2020) combine the output each model using majority voting.
