• Abstract: The Marathi language is one of the prominent languages used in India. It is predominantly spoken by the people of Maharashtra. Over the past decade, the usage of language on online platforms has tremendously increased. However, research on Natural Language Processing (NLP) approaches for Marathi text has not received much attention. Marathi is a morphologically rich language and uses a variant of the Devanagari script in the written form. This works aims to provide a comprehensive overview of available resources and models for Marathi text classification. We evaluate CNN, LSTM, ULMFiT, and BERT based models on two publicly available Marathi text classification datasets and present a comparative analysis. The pre-trained Marathi fast text word embeddings by Facebook and IndicNLP are used in conjunction with word-based models. We show that basic single layer models based on CNN and LSTM coupled with FastText embeddings perform on par with the BERT based models on the available datasets. We hope our paper aids focused research and experiments in the area of Marathi NLP.

  We present the MahaSUM dataset, a large-scale collection of diverse news articles in Marathi. The dataset was created by scraping articles from a wide range of online news sources and manually verifying the abstract summaries. We train an IndicBART model, a variant of the BART model tailored for Indic languages, using the MahaSUM dataset.

  There is a significant gap in low-resource languages, especially the Swahili Language. Swahili is widely spoken in East African countries but is still an under-explored language in scene text recognition. We propose a comprehensive dataset of Swahili scene text images and evaluate the dataset on different scene text detection and recognition models.

  We focus on the Marathi language and evaluate the models on the datasets for hate speech detection, sentiment analysis and simple text classification in Marathi. We use standard multilingual models such as mBERT, indicBERT and xlm-RoBERTa and compare with MahaBERT, MahaALBERT and MahaRoBERTa, the monolingual models for Marathi. We show that monolingual MahaBERT based models provide rich representations as compared to sentence embeddings from multi-lingual counterparts.

  Still hate and offensive speech detection faces a challenge due to inadequate availability of data. In this work, we consider hate and offensive speech detection in Hindi and Marathi texts. We explore different deep learning architectures like CNN, LSTM, and variations of BERT like multilingual BERT, IndicBERT, and monolingual RoBERTa. We show that the transformer-based models perform the best and even the basic models along with FastText embeddings give a competitive performance.
