Sentiment analysis based offensive language identification system for code-mixed data

Abstract

Hate speech identification is the process of categorising textual information into hate and non- hate speech with the goal of identifying hate speech's targeted features. The objective of this research work is to take the Dataset from FIRE 2021 shared task code mixed data that includes YouTube comments and Twitter conversations and to detect whether the messages represents the offensive or non-offensive category. To detect the offensive language sentences, various deep learning models like Long Short-Term Memory, Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory, Convolutional Neural Network, Gated Recurrent Unit, and hybrid model like Convolutional Neural Network with Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory methods were utilised in this research work. The performance of all the mentioned models is evaluated using precision, recall, F1-score, and accuracy. Out of all the models, both LSTM and GRU models perform better with the accuracy of 0.81, precision of 0.85 and recall of 0.95.
