PEFT boosts LLM hate speech detection in Roman Urdu to over 93% F1

A new research paper explores the effectiveness of Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) methods, specifically Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA), for hate speech detection in Roman Urdu. The study found that while zero-shot inference on models like Mistral, LLaMA, Falcon, and BERT yielded moderate results (F1 score of 0.56), fine-tuning with PEFT significantly improved performance to over 0.93 F1 score. This approach demonstrates strong computational efficiency, making it a viable solution for processing low-resource languages. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates a highly efficient method for adapting LLMs to low-resource languages, potentially improving AI's utility in diverse linguistic contexts.

    Efficient Adaptation of LLMs for Hate Speech Detection in Low-Resource Languages: A Comparative Study on Roman Urdu

    arXiv:2608.18142v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: It is challenging to detect hate speech in Low Resource Languages (LRLs) because of the absence of annotated data, the informality of its language structure, and the lack of standardized grammar. A good example of such a challenge i…
