LexiLogic@DravidianLangTech 2025: Multimodal Hate Speech Detection in Dravidian languages

Abstract

AbstractThis paper describes our participation in the DravidianLangTech@NAACL 2025 shared task on hate speech detection in Dravidian languages. While the task provided both text transcripts and audio data, we demonstrate that competitive results can be achieved using text features alone. We employed fine-tuned Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) models from l3cube-pune for Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu languages. Our system achieved notable results, securing second position for Tamil and Malayalam tasks, and first position for Telugu in the official leaderboard.
