• Abstract: This paper describes the system submitted to Dravidian-Codemix-HASOC2021: Hate Speech and Offensive Language Identification in Dravidian Languages (Tamil-English and Malayalam-English). This task aims to identify offensive content in code-mixed comments/posts in Dravidian Languages collected from social media. Our approach utilizes pooling the last layers of pretrained transformer multilingual BERT for this task which helped us achieve rank nine on the leaderboard with a weighted average score of 0.61 for the Tamil-English dataset in subtask B. After the task deadline, we sampled the dataset uniformly and used the MuRIL pretrained model, which helped us achieve a weighted average score of 0.67, the top score in the leaderboard. Furthermore, our approach to utilizing the pretrained models helps reuse our models for the same task with a different dataset. Our code and models are available in https://github.com/seanbenhur/tanglish-offensive-language-identification

• Breaking the Script Barrier in Multilingual Pre-Trained Language Models with Transliteration-Based Post-Training Alignment [50.27950279695363]
  The transfer performance is often hindered when a low-resource target language is written in a different script than the high-resource source language. Inspired by recent work that uses transliteration to address this problem, our paper proposes a transliteration-based post-pretraining alignment (PPA) method.

On the phrase retrieval task, CCPR surpasses baselines by a significant margin, achieving a top-1 accuracy that is at least 13 points higher.

  Pre-training requires vast amounts of monolingual data, which is mostly unavailable for languages other than English. We take the case of English and Indic languages and translate web-crawled monolingual documents (clean) into the target language. Then, we train language models containing 28M and 85M parameters on this translationese data (synthetic) We show that their performance on downstream natural language understanding and generative tasks is only 3.56% poorer on NLU tasks and 1.51% on NLG tasks than LMs pre-trained on clean data.

  We classify codemixed social media comments/posts in the Dravidian languages of Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. A custom dataset is constructed by transliterating all the code-mixed texts into the respective Dravidian language. We fine-tune several recent pretrained language models on the newly constructed dataset.

  We create a true Many-to-Many multilingual translation model that can translate directly between any pair of 100 languages. We build and open source a training dataset that covers thousands of language directions with supervised data, created through large-scale mining. Our focus on non-English-Centric models brings gains of more than 10 BLEU when directly translating between non-English directions while performing competitively to the best single systems of WMT.
