UNHCR Hate Speech Detection Model

This is a transformer model that can detect hate and offensive speech for English text. The primary use-case of this model is to detect hate speech targeted at refugees. The model is based on roberta-uncased and was fine-tuned on 12 abusive language datasets.

The model has been developed as a collaboration between UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and Copenhagen Business School.

• F1-score on test set (10% of the overall dataset): 81%
• Hatecheck score: 90.3%
