Toxic-Spans-Detection

Repository for our code and experiments on SemEval-2021 Task-5 Toxic Spans Detection. We are still updating this repository and trying to make the code more efficient. We will be posting the updates here whenever possible. We would love to know about any issues found on this repository. Please create an issue for any queries, or you contact us at chhablani.gunjan@gmail.com.

Updates

[25 Feb 2021]: Repository is made public.

Usage

Setting Up

Install src using the following command:

python setup.py install

Install the requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Baseline Models

RNNSL

python run_baseline_model.py --configs ./configs/rnnsl/default.yaml

Running this command will save the predictions for train, trial, and test, and corresponding F₁ scores.

SpaCy

cd baselines
python spacy_tagging.py

Running this command will save the predictions for train, trial, and test, and corresponding F₁ scores.

Training

For BERT-based models, the configurations are present in the configs directory. You can choose a config of your liking. An example for bert_token:

python train.py --train ./configs/bert_token/train.yaml --data ./configs/bert_token/dataset.yaml

This will save the logs, checkpoints, and the final model at the path specified in train.yaml.

Evaluating

Evaluation is done based on a checkpoint mentioned in eval.yaml configurations. Please ensure the correctness of the checkpoint path before continuing.

python eval.py --eval ./configs/bert_token/eval.yaml

Running this command will save the predictions for train, trial, and test, and corresponding F₁ scores.

Integrated Gradients

You can also apply Integrated Gradients to an example of your choosing. Change the sample_index in the configuration corresponding to the example. By default, the test dataset is used, but you can also choose to use this on other datasets. Please ensure correctness of the checkpoint path before continuing. An example command to run for roberta_token is:

python run_integrated_gradients.py --config ./configs/integrated_gradients/roberta_token.yaml

Running this command will save the word_importances, token_importances binary files, with format (words, importances) and (tokens, importances) respectively. A visualization will also be save in a file called viz.html.

Combining Predictions

We combine checkpoint predictions using intersection or union. An example for union of top-3 roberta checkpoints:

python /src/utils/combine_preds.py ./configs/combine_predictions/union_roberta_token_best_3_ckpts.yaml

Evaluating Prediction Files

You will need ground truths, predictions to be able to run this evaluation. We calculate F₁ scores on the given file using the following command:

python calculate_f1_scores.py --ground <ground> --preds <preds> --out <out>

where <ground> is path to the ground truths, <preds> is the prediction file, and <out> is the path where the scores are to be saved. Running this command will save the F₁ scores to the path.
