Text classification model based on EMBEDDIA/sloberta and fine-tuned on the FRENK dataset comprising of LGBT and migrant hatespeech. Only the slovenian subset of the data was used for fine-tuning and the dataset has been relabeled for binary classification (offensive or acceptable).

Fine-tuning hyperparameters

Fine-tuning was performed with simpletransformers. Beforehand a brief hyperparameter optimisation was performed and the presumed optimal hyperparameters are:

model_args = {
        "num_train_epochs": 14,
        "learning_rate": 1e-5,
        "train_batch_size": 21,
        }

Performance

The same pipeline was run with two other transformer models and fasttext for comparison. Accuracy and macro F1 score were recorded for each of the 6 fine-tuning sessions and post festum analyzed.

From recorded accuracies and macro F1 scores p-values were also calculated:

from simpletransformers.classification import ClassificationModel
model_args = {
        "num_train_epochs": 6,
        "learning_rate": 3e-6,
        "train_batch_size": 69}

model = ClassificationModel(
    "camembert", "5roop/sloberta-frenk-hate", use_cuda=True,
    args=model_args
    
)

predictions, logit_output = model.predict(["Silva, ti si grda in neprijazna", "Naša hiša ima dimnik"])

### Output:
### array([1, 0])
