# MUDES - {Mu}ltilingual {De}tection of Offensive {S}pans
We provide state-of-the-art models to detect toxic spans in text. We have evaluated our models on Toxic Spans task at SemEval 2021 (Task 5).
## Usage
You can use this model when you have [MUDES](https://github.com/TharinduDR/MUDES) installed:
```bash
pip install mudes
```
Then you can use the model like this:
```python
from mudes.app.mudes_app import MUDESApp
app = MUDESApp("multilingual-large", use_cuda=False)
print(app.predict_toxic_spans("You motherfucking cunt", spans=True))
```
## System Demonstration
An experimental demonstration interface called MUDES-UI has been released on [GitHub](https://github.com/TharinduDR/MUDES-UI) and can be checked out in [here](http://rgcl.wlv.ac.uk/mudes/).
