Interpretable Multi Labeled Bengali Toxic Comments Classification using Deep Learning
This paper presents a deep learning-based pipeline for categorizing Bengali toxic comments, in which at first a binary classification model is used to determine whether a comment is toxic or not, and then a multi-label classifier is employed to determine which toxicity type the comment belongs to. For this purpose, we have prepared a manually labeled dataset consisting of 16,073 instances among which 8,488 are Toxic and any toxic comment may correspond to one or more of the six toxic categories - vulgar, hate, religious, threat, troll, and insult simultaneously. Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) with BERT Embedding achieved 89.42 a multi-label classifier, a combination of Convolutional Neural Network and Bi-directional Long Short Term Memory (CNN-BiLSTM) with attention mechanism achieved 78.92 predictions and interpret the word feature importance during classification by the proposed models, we utilized Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations (LIME) framework. We have made our dataset public and can be accessed at - https://github.com/deepu099cse/Multi-Labeled-Bengali-Toxic-Comments-Classification
