## Agression and Misogyny Detection App

Social media platforms have become hotspots for the proliferation of trolling, aggression, and hate speech. With an overwhelming volume of social media data being generated every day, manual inspection is simply impractical. In response to this pressing issue, we present an efficient and rapid method for detecting aggression and misogyny in online social media texts.

What sets our model apart is not only its high performance but also its significantly reduced training time, model size, and resource requirements. These advantages make our model highly practical for fast inference, ensuring prompt identification of aggression and misogyny in online social media texts.
