Abstract

In this paper, we describe the BRUMS entry to the Hate Speech and Offensive Content Identification in Indo-European Languages
(HASOC) shared task 2019. The HASOC organizers provided participants with annotated datasets containing posts from social media in
English, German, and Hindi (including code-mixing). We present a multilingual deep learning model to identify hate speech and offensive language in social media. Our best performing system was ranked 3rd among 79 entries in the English track of the HASOC sub-task 1.
