• Abstract: This paper describes our system used in the BLP-2025 Task 1: Hate Speech Detection. We participated in Subtask 1A and Subtask 1B, addressing hate speech classification in Bangla text. Our approach employs a unified architecture that integrates BanglaBERT embeddings with multiple parallel processing branches based on GRUs and CNNs, followed by attention and dense layers for final classification. The model is designed to capture both contextual semantics and local linguistic cues, enabling robust performance across subtasks. The proposed system demonstrated high competitiveness, obtaining 0.7345 micro F1-Score (2nd place) in Subtask 1A and 0.7317 micro F1-Score (5th place) in Subtask 1B.

  Subtask A is a binary classification task determining whether a text is written by a human or generated by a machine. Subtask B is to detect the exact source of a text, discerning whether it is written by a human or generated by a specific LLM. Subtask C aims to identify the changing point within a text, at which the authorship transitions from human to machine.
