LUC at ComMA-2021 Shared Task: Multilingual Gender Biased and Communal Language Identification without using linguistic features
This work aims to evaluate the ability that both probabilistic and state-of-the-art vector space modeling (VSM) methods provide to well known machine learning algorithms to identify social network documents to be classified as aggressive, gender biased or communally charged. To this end, an exploratory stage was performed first in order to find relevant settings to test, i.e. by using training and development samples, we trained multiple algorithms using multiple vector space modeling and probabilistic methods and discarded the less informative configurations. These systems were submitted to the competition of the ComMA@ICON'21 Workshop on Multilingual Gender Biased and Communal Language Identification.
