• Abstract: The popularity of social media has created problems such as hate speech and sexism. The identification and classification of sexism in social media are very relevant tasks, as they would allow building a healthier social environment. Nevertheless, these tasks are considerably challenging. This work proposes a system to use multilingual and monolingual BERT and data points translation and ensemble strategies for sexism identification and classification in English and Spanish. It was conducted in the context of the sEXism Identification in Social neTworks shared 2021 (EXIST 2021) task, proposed by the Iberian Languages Evaluation Forum (IberLEF). The proposed system and its main components are described, and an in-depth hyperparameters analysis is conducted. The main results observed were: (i) the system obtained better results than the baseline model (multilingual BERT); (ii) ensemble models obtained better results than monolingual models; and (iii) an ensemble model considering all individual models and the best standardized values obtained the best accuracies and F1-scores for both tasks. This work obtained first place in both tasks at EXIST, with the highest accuracies (0.780 for task 1 and 0.658 for task 2) and F1-scores (F1-binary of 0.780 for task 1 and F1-macro of 0.579 for task 2).

  We show that multilingual models suffer from significant gender biases just as monolingual models do. We propose a novel benchmark, MAGBIG, intended to foster research on gender bias in multilingual models. Our results show that not only do models exhibit strong gender biases but they also behave differently across languages.

The proposed approach aims at addressing the task of sexism identification and characterization under the learning with disagreements paradigm. The proposed system uses large language models (i.e., mBERT and XLM-RoBERTa) and ensemble strategies for sexism identification and classification in English and Spanish.

  We present the findings of our participation in the SemEval-2023 Task 10: Explainable Detection of Online Sexism (EDOS) task. We investigated the effects of transferring two language models: XLM-T (sentiment classification) and HateBERT (same domain -- Reddit) for multi-level classification into Sexist or not Sexist.

  We present OneAligner, an alignment model specially designed for sentence retrieval tasks. When trained with all language pairs of a large-scale parallel multilingual corpus (OPUS-100), this model achieves the state-of-the-art result. We conclude through empirical results and analyses that the performance of the sentence alignment task depends mostly on the monolingual and parallel data size.

  We implement an accurate model to detect xenophobia in comments about web news articles. We obtained the 3rd place in Task 1 official ranking with the F1-score of 0.5996, and we achieved the 6th place in Task 2 official ranking with the CEM of 0.7142. Our results suggest: (i) BERT models obtain better results than statistical models for toxicity detection in text comments; (ii) Monolingual BERT models have an advantage over multilingual BERT models in toxicity detection in text comments in their pre-trained language.

• Automatic Sexism Detection with Multilingual Transformer Models [0.0]
  This paper presents the contribution of the AIT_FHSTP team at the EXIST 2021 benchmark for two sEXism Identification in Social neTworks tasks. To solve the tasks we applied two multilingual transformer models, one based on multilingual BERT and one based on XLM-R. Our approach uses two different strategies to adapt the transformers to the detection of sexist content: first, unsupervised pre-training with additional data and second, supervised fine-tuning with additional and augmented data. For both tasks our best model is XLM-R with unsupervised pre-training on the EXIST data and additional datasets

  Downstream applications are at risk of inheriting biases contained in natural language models. We analyze the occupational biases of a popular generative language model, GPT-2. For a given job, GPT-2 reflects the societal skew of gender and ethnicity in the US, and in some cases, pulls the distribution towards gender parity.
