• Authors: Md Nishat Raihan, Dhiman Goswami, Sadiya Sayara Chowdhury Puspo, Marcos Zampieri
• Abstract summary: In this paper, we discuss the nlpBDpatriots entry to the shared task on Violence Inciting Text Detection (VITD) The aim of this task is to identify and classify the violent threats, that provoke further unlawful violent acts. Our best-performing approach for the task is two-step classification using back translation and multilinguality which ranked 6th out of 27 teams with a macro F1 score of 0.74.

• Abstract: In this paper, we discuss the nlpBDpatriots entry to the shared task on Violence Inciting Text Detection (VITD) organized as part of the first workshop on Bangla Language Processing (BLP) co-located with EMNLP. The aim of this task is to identify and classify the violent threats, that provoke further unlawful violent acts. Our best-performing approach for the task is two-step classification using back translation and multilinguality which ranked 6th out of 27 teams with a macro F1 score of 0.74.

  Social media has accelerated the propagation of hate and violence-inciting speech in society. The problem of detecting violence-inciting texts is further exacerbated in low-resource settings due to sparse research and less data. This paper presents our work for the Violence Inciting Text Detection shared task in the First Workshop on Bangla Language Processing.

  We propose a novel approach to generate high-quality paraphrases with weak supervision data. Specifically, we tackle the weakly-supervised paraphrase generation problem by:. obtaining abundant weakly-labeled parallel sentences via retrieval-based pseudo paraphrase expansion. We demonstrate that our approach achieves significant improvements over existing unsupervised approaches, and is even comparable in performance with supervised state-of-the-arts.

  We describe an unsupervised method to create pseudo-parallel corpora for machine translation (MT) from unaligned text. We use multilingual BERT to create source and target sentence embeddings for nearest-neighbor search and adapt the model via self-training. We validate our technique by extracting parallel sentence pairs on the BUCC 2017 bitext mining task and observe up to a 24.5 point increase (absolute) in F1 scores over previous unsupervised methods.
