• Title: Galileo at SemEval-2020 Task 12: Multi-lingual Learning for Offensive Language Identification using Pre-trained Language Models
• Authors: Shuohuan Wang, Jiaxiang Liu, Xuan Ouyang, Yu Sun
• Abstract summary: This paper describes Galileo's performance in SemEval-2020 Task 12 on detecting and categorizing offensive language in social media. For Offensive Language Identification, we proposed a multi-lingual method using Pre-trained Language Models, ERNIE and XLM-R. For offensive language categorization, we proposed a knowledge distillation method trained on soft labels generated by several supervised models.

• Abstract: This paper describes Galileo's performance in SemEval-2020 Task 12 on detecting and categorizing offensive language in social media. For Offensive Language Identification, we proposed a multi-lingual method using Pre-trained Language Models, ERNIE and XLM-R. For offensive language categorization, we proposed a knowledge distillation method trained on soft labels generated by several supervised models. Our team participated in all three sub-tasks. In Sub-task A - Offensive Language Identification, we ranked first in terms of average F1 scores in all languages. We are also the only team which ranked among the top three across all languages. We also took the first place in Sub-task B - Automatic Categorization of Offense Types and Sub-task C - Offence Target Identification.

  The task aims to perform monolingual sentiment classification (sub-task A) for 12 African languages, multilingual sentiment classification (sub-task B) and zero-shot sentiment classification (task C) Our findings suggest that using pre-trained Afro-centric language models improves performance for low-resource African languages. We also ran experiments using adapters for zero-shot tasks, and the results suggest that we can obtain promising results by using adapters with a limited amount of resources.

  Building Spoken Language Understanding systems that do not rely on language specific Automatic Speech Recognition is an important yet less explored problem in language processing. We present a comparative study aimed at employing a pre-trained acoustic model to perform Spoken Language Understanding in low resource scenarios. We perform experiments across three different languages: English, Sinhala, and Tamil each with different data sizes to simulate high, medium, and low resource scenarios.
