This model has been trained and released as part of the MilaNLP solution to the EDOS Shared Task.
Please check out the paper MilaNLP at SemEval-2023 Task 10: Ensembling Domain-Adapted and Regularized Pretrained Language Models for Robust Sexism Detection for further details.

Adaptation Details

We ran domain adaptation of a pretrained DeBERTa with standard MLM on the unlabeled Reddit corpus (1M posts) provided by the task organizers (Kirk et al., 2023) and the Gab Hate Corpus (87K posts) (Kennedy et al., 2022). After concatenating and shuffling the two datasets, we held out 5% as validation data, stratifying on the data source. Our final training dataset counted around 20M words.

Please refer to the paper for full details.

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
