# BCAT Model: Parallel Chinese Offensive Language Detection with Synergistic Semantics and Topic Modeling
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The BCAT (BERT-CTM Attention-based Text Classifier) model is designed for Chinese sentiment recognition, particularly focusing on offensive and aggressive language detection. The model leverages BERT-generated contextual word embeddings and CTM (Combined Topic Modeling) to capture both semantic and thematic features from text data. BCAT integrates a multi-head attention mechanism to enhance feature representation and applies convolutional networks (DPCNN and TextCNN) for feature extraction.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **BERT and CTM Fusion**: BCAT effectively combines BERT embeddings with CTM topic vectors. BERT captures the context of words in a sentence, while CTM identifies overarching themes, improving the model's ability to detect nuanced sentiments.
|
|
- **Multi-Head Attention Mechanism**: This component focuses on different aspects of the input data, ensuring that critical features are emphasized during classification.
|
|
- **TextCNN and DPCNN**: These two convolutional networks operate in parallel to extract both local (TextCNN) and global (DPCNN) features, improving the robustness of the model for different linguistic structures.
|
|
|
|
## Model Architecture
|
|
|
|
The BCAT model is divided into the following components:
|
|
|
|
1. **Embedding Layer**: Text data is transformed into embeddings using the BERT model.
|
|
|
|
2. Feature Extraction Layer:
|
|
|
|
- TextCNN extracts local features (word and phrase combinations).
|
|
- DPCNN captures global text structure and long-range dependencies.
|
|
|
|
3. **Feature Fusion and Attention**: The output from both networks is combined and processed by the multi-head attention mechanism to highlight relevant information.
|
|
|
|
4. **Classification Layer**: A fully connected Softmax layer outputs the predicted sentiment classes.
|
|
|
|
## Data
|
|
|
|
BCAT is trained on the **COLD (Chinese Offensive Language Dataset)**, a publicly available dataset that includes offensive and safe comments across various categories. The model also uses real-time data collected from social platforms like Weibo through a custom web crawler.
|
|
|
|
### Dataset Statistics
|
|
|
|
- **COLD Dataset**: Contains 37,480 comments with binary labels indicating whether a comment is offensive or safe.
|
|
- **Weibo Data**: Supplementary real-world data gathered through a web crawler to ensure model robustness in practical applications.
|
|
|
|
## Training and Testing
|
|
|
|
- **Training**: The model was trained on a dataset split into training, validation, and test sets. Key metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score were used to evaluate performance.
|
|
- **Testing**: The model underwent extensive testing with the validation and test datasets, showing excellent results in offensive language detection.

## How to Use
|
|
|
|
1. **Dependencies**:
|
|
|
|
- Python 3.8+
|
|
- PyTorch
|
|
- Transformers (Hugging Face)
|
|
- Contextualized Topic Models (CTM)
|
|

|
|
|
|
2. **Installation**:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Training**: To train the BCAT model with your own dataset:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python train_model.py --data_path <path_to_data> --save_path <path_to_save_model>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. **Inference**: For predicting sentiment on new text data:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python predict.py --model_path <path_to_model> --input_text "Your input text here"
|
|
``` |
