YNUWB at SemEval-2019 Task 6: K-max pooling CNN with average meta-embedding for identifying offensive language

SEMEVAL 2019  ·  Bin Wang, Xiaobing Zhou, Xue-jie Zhang ·

This paper describes the system submitted to SemEval 2019 Task 6: OffensEval 2019. The task aims to identify and categorize offensive language in social media, we only participate in Sub-task A, which aims to identify offensive language. In order to address this task, we propose a system based on a K-max pooling convolutional neural network model, and use an argument for averaging as a valid meta-embedding technique to get a metaembedding. Finally, we also use a cyclic learning rate policy to improve model performance. Our model achieves a Macro F1-score of 0.802 (ranked 9/103) in the Sub-task A.
