T\"uKaSt at SemEval-2019 Task 6: Something Old, Something Neu(ral): Traditional and Neural Approaches to Offensive Text Classification

SEMEVAL 2019  ·  Madeeswaran Kannan, Lukas Stein ·

We describe our system (T{\"u}KaSt) submitted for Task 6: Offensive Language Classification, at SemEval 2019. We developed multiple SVM classifier models that used sentence-level dense vector representations of tweets enriched with sentiment information and term-weighting. Our best results achieved F1 scores of 0.734, 0.660 and 0.465 in the first, second and third sub-tasks respectively. We also describe a neural network model that was developed in parallel but not used during evaluation due to time constraints.
