MUDES - {Mu}ltilingual {De}tection of Offensive {S}pans

We provide state-of-the-art models to detect toxic spans in text. We have evaluated our models on Toxic Spans task at SemEval 2021 (Task 5).

Usage

You can use this model when you have MUDES installed:

pip install mudes

Then you can use the model like this:

from mudes.app.mudes_app import MUDESApp

app = MUDESApp("multilingual-large", use_cuda=False)
print(app.predict_toxic_spans("You motherfucking cunt", spans=True))

System Demonstration

An experimental demonstration interface called MUDES-UI has been released on GitHub and can be checked out in here.
