Ghmerti at SemEval-2019 Task 6: A Deep Word- and Character-based Approach to Offensive Language Identification

Introduction

This is the code for Ghmerti at SemEval-2019 Task 6: A Deep Word- and Character-based Approach to Offensive Language Identification, published in the Proceedings of The 13th International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation (SemEval 2019).

• char_cnn_word_blstm.py is a CNN with character embeddings as input and a bidirectional RNN with LSTM cells and word embeddings as input features.

• char_cnn_word_blstm_attn.py is the same thing, except that it also uses the attention mechanism on RNN's output.

• char_cnn_word_gru.py is exactly the same as char_cnn_word_blstm.py, except that the RNN's cell is GRU.

• char_cnn_word_lstm.py this one uses a unidirectional RNN with LSTM cells.

• char_cnn_word_lstm_attn.py is the same as the above one, plus attention.

• char_cnn_word_lstm_emotion.py also makes use of emotion dense features as the input to the FCN layer.

• data_loader.py and data_loader_emotion_feature.py read the data from file, preprocess it, and convert it to the right format for first 5 and the last one, repectively.
