• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: This paper presents our work for the Violence Inciting Text Detection shared task in the First Workshop on Bangla Language Processing. Social media has accelerated the propagation of hate and violence-inciting speech in society. It is essential to develop efficient mechanisms to detect and curb the propagation of such texts. The problem of detecting violence-inciting texts is further exacerbated in low-resource settings due to sparse research and less data. The data provided in the shared task consists of texts in the Bangla language, where each example is classified into one of the three categories defined based on the types of violence-inciting texts. We try and evaluate several BERT-based models, and then use an ensemble of the models as our final submission. Our submission is ranked 10th in the final leaderboard of the shared task with a macro F1 score of 0.737.

  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.

  Online Social Networks serve as fertile ground for harmful behavior, ranging from hate speech to the dissemination of disinformation. We introduce the Style Transformer for Authorship Representations (STAR), trained on a large corpus derived from public sources of 4.5 x 106 authored texts. Using a support base of 8 documents of 512 tokens, we can discern authors from sets of up to 1616 authors with at least 80% accuracy.

  A problem that frequently occurs when working with a non-English language is the scarcity of annotated training data. We design a simple but effective ensemble-based framework that combines various transfer learning techniques. We also propose a low-cost TL method that bootstraps coreference resolution models by utilizing Wikipedia anchor texts.
