HateBERTimbau-YouTube

HateBERTimbau-YouTube is a transformer-based encoder model for identifying Hate Speech in Portuguese social media text. It is a fine-tuned version of HateBERTimbau model, retrained on a dataset of 23,912 YouTube comments specifically focused on Hate Speech.

Model Description

• Developed by: kNOwHATE: kNOwing online HATE speech: knowledge + awareness = TacklingHate
• Funded by: European Union
• Model type: Transformer-based text classification model fine-tuned for Hate Speech detection in Portuguese social media text
• Language: Portuguese
• Fine-tuned from model: knowhate/HateBERTimbau

Uses

You can use this model directly with a pipeline for text classification:

from transformers import pipeline
classifier = pipeline('text-classification', model='knowhate/HateBERTimbau-youtube')

classifier("as pessoas tem que perceber que ser 'panasca' não é deixar de ser homem, é deixar de ser humano 😂😂")

[{'label': 'Hate Speech', 'score': 0.9228119850158691}]

Or this model can be used by fine-tuning it for a specific task/dataset:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification, TrainingArguments, Trainer
from datasets import load_dataset

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("knowhate/HateBERTimbau-youtube")
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("knowhate/HateBERTimbau-youtube")
dataset = load_dataset("knowhate/youtube-train")

def tokenize_function(examples):
    return tokenizer(examples["sentence1"], examples["sentence2"], padding="max_length", truncation=True)

tokenized_datasets = dataset.map(tokenize_function, batched=True)

training_args = TrainingArguments(output_dir="hatebertimbau", evaluation_strategy="epoch")
trainer = Trainer(
    model=model,
    args=training_args,
    train_dataset=tokenized_datasets["train"],
    eval_dataset=tokenized_datasets["validation"],
)

trainer.train()
