Abstract:
This paper describes the systems the TUW-Inf team submitted for the HASOC 2021 shared task on identifying offensive comments in social media. Besides a simple BERT-based classifier that achieved one of the highest F-scores on the binary classification task, we also build a high-precision rule-based classifier using a custom framework for human-in-the-loop learning. Both of our approaches are also evaluated qualitatively by manual analysis of 150 tweets, which also highlights possible controversies in the ground truth labels of the HASOC dataset
