This work presents our approach to train a neural network to detect hate-speech texts in Hindi and Bengali. We also explore how transfer learning can be applied to learning these languages, given that they have the same origin and thus, are similar to some extend. Even though the whole experiment was conducted with low computational power, the obtained result is comparable to the results of other, more expensive, models. Furthermore, since the training data in use is relatively small and the two languages are almost entirely unknown to us, this work can be generalized as an effort to demystify lost or alien languages that no human is capable of understanding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
