• Title: muBoost: An Effective Method for Solving Indic Multilingual Text Classification Problem
• Authors: Manish Pathak, Aditya Jain
• Abstract summary: We are presenting our solution to Multilingual Abusive Comment Identification Problem on Moj. The problem dealt with detecting abusive comments, in 13 regional Indic languages. We were able to achieve a mean F1-score of 89.286 on the test data, an improvement over baseline MURIL model with a F1-score of 87.48.

• Abstract: Text Classification is an integral part of many Natural Language Processing tasks such as sarcasm detection, sentiment analysis and many more such applications. Many e-commerce websites, social-media/entertainment platforms use such models to enhance user-experience to generate traffic and thus, revenue on their platforms. In this paper, we are presenting our solution to Multilingual Abusive Comment Identification Problem on Moj, an Indian video-sharing social networking service, powered by ShareChat. The problem dealt with detecting abusive comments, in 13 regional Indic languages such as Hindi, Telugu, Kannada etc., on the videos on Moj platform. Our solution utilizes the novel muBoost, an ensemble of CatBoost classifier models and Multilingual Representations for Indian Languages (MURIL) model, to produce SOTA performance on Indic text classification tasks. We were able to achieve a mean F1-score of 89.286 on the test data, an improvement over baseline MURIL model with a F1-score of 87.48.

  In multilingual societies like India, text often exhibits code-mixing, blending local languages with English at different linguistic levels. This paper introduces a prompt based method for a shared task aimed at addressing word-level LI challenges in Dravidian languages. In this work, we leveraged GPT-3.5 Turbo to understand whether the large language models is able to correctly classify words into correct categories.
