"text": "Detecting offensive language or hate speech on social media has gained a lot of interest recently. Use of offensive language and hate speech on social media can be an indication of hate crimes, toxic environment or level of antagonism against individuals or particular groups. Detecting offensive language and hate speech can also help in filtering out inappropriate content for users. Although there is a lot of research on detecting offensive language and hate speech (Agrawal and Awekar, 2018; Djuric et al., 2015; Davidson et al., 2017) , work on Arabic offensive language detection is still in its early stages with very few notable works (Mubarak and Darwish, 2019; Mubarak et al., 2017; Albadi et al., 2018; Alakrot et al., 2018) . Mubarak and Darwish (2019) report that only 1-2% of the tweets are offensive. The highly skewed distribution of data makes it extremely difficult to build useful datasets and effective systems. OS-ACT4 shared task (Mubarak et al., 2020) presents the problem of detecting offensive language and hate speech in Arabic tweets to the community. The shared task consists of 2 subtasks: offensive language detection (subtask A), and hate speech detection (subtask B). This paper describes the systems submitted for OSACT4 shared task on Offensive Language Detection by the team ALT. First, we experimented with classical machine learning classifiers such as Support Vector Machines (SVMs) that are trained on character and word-level features. Then, we experimented with Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT). SVMs were seen to outperform the DNNs and BERT. Since we expect the different kinds of classifier to make different kinds of errors, we take the most promising and diverse individual classifiers and perform voting to decide the final output. Majority voting on SVMs, DNNs and BERT yielded better results than individual systems for subtask A on the development set. The best results on development set for subtask B were obtained by combining the output of different SVMs and considering an instance to be hate speech if any of the classifiers voted it to be hate speech.",

We also experimented on using Mazajak embeddings (Abu Farha and Magdy, 2019) as features to SVM. Mazajak embeddings were trained on Twitter data, which matches the domain of data in our task. Therefore, we expect it to be more useful compared to other embeddings that are trained on different domain of data (BERT-Multilingual, for example). From table 3, we can see that the best results were obtained when character [1, 5] gram and word [1 \u2212 3] gram features were combined with pretrained Mazajak word embeddings.",

First layer of the network is used to project the input string to character embeddings, which is then passed through a convolutional layer and max-overtime pooling is applied to obtain fixed length representation of words. Character-level representations have been shown to capture morphology of words (Kim et al., 2015 ). If we were to use only word level features obtained from pretrained word embeddings, we would lose out information when a word does not appear in the vocabulary of the pre- ",

Examining the specific tweets provides us with some interesting insights. NOT HS ? Table 8 : Errors analysis of subtask B the table contains reference to Game of Thrones. This is offensive only if context of Game of Thrones is taken into account. We cannot expect the classifier to be correct on such instances. The second entry provides us with an example of error that we can tackle in the future. We see that the hashtag # is offensive toward immigrants. But it's out of vocabulary for our systems. In the future, we can attempt to parse the hashtags into its constituent words and see if it improves the performance. The third entry in the table is quite interesting. The sentence uses an offensive word, , which means \"stealing\", but the sentence itself is not offensive. It's likely our system picked up the offensive word but failed to take into account the context in which the word was used. In future, we can particularly target resolving issues of ambiguous use of words. Table 6 shows the confusion matrix of our best system. We can see that the classifier is much more likely to misclassify offensive instance as not offensive compared to misclassifying not offensive instances as offensive. This is to be expected as the data is highly skewed with only 19% of the instances being offensive.",
