# Danish Offensive Text Detection based on XLM-Roberta-Base

This model is a fine-tuned version of [xlm-roberta-base](https://huggingface.co/xlm-roberta-base) on a dataset consisting of approximately 5 million Facebook comments on [DR](https://dr.dk/)'s public Facebook pages. The labels have been automatically generated using weak supervision, based on the [Snorkel](https://www.snorkel.org/) framework.

The model achieves SOTA on a test set consisting of 600 Facebook comments annotated using majority vote by three annotators, of which 35.8% were labelled as offensive:

| **Model** | **Precision** | **Recall** | **F1-score** | **F2-score** |
| :-------- | :------------ | :--------- | :----------- | :----------- |
| `alexandrainst/xlm-roberta-base-offensive-text-detection-da` (this) | 74.81% | **89.77%** | **81.61%** | **86.32%** |
| [`alexandrainst/electra-small-offensive-text-detection-da`](https://huggingface.co/alexandrainst/electra-small-offensive-text-detection-da) | 74.13% | 89.30% | 81.01% | 85.79% |
| [`A&ttack`](https://github.com/ogtal/A-ttack) | **97.32%** | 50.70% | 66.67% | 56.07% |
| [`DaNLP/da-electra-hatespeech-detection`](https://huggingface.co/DaNLP/da-electra-hatespeech-detection) | 86.43% | 56.28% | 68.17% | 60.50% |
| [`Guscode/DKbert-hatespeech-detection`](https://huggingface.co/Guscode/DKbert-hatespeech-detection) | 75.41% | 42.79% | 54.60% | 46.84% |

## Using the model

You can use the model simply by running the following:

```python
>>> from transformers import pipeline
>>> offensive_text_pipeline = pipeline(model="xlm-roberta-base-offensive-text-detection-da")
>>> offensive_text_pipeline("Din store idiot")
[{'label': 'offensive', 'score': 0.9874388575553894}]
```

Processing multiple documents at the same time can be done as follows:

```python
>>> offensive_text_pipeline(["Din store idiot", "ej hvor godt :)"])
[{'label': 'offensive', 'score': 0.9874388575553894}, {'label': 'not offensive', 'score': 0.999760091304779}]
```
