# **Toxic Comment Classification with Transformer Optimization**
|
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
This project demonstrates a high-performance pipeline for classifying toxic comments using a **binary classification** approach. The models were trained and evaluated using the **Jigsaw Toxic Comment Classification** dataset, specifically leveraging the domain-specific **Toxic-BERT** model as a primary architecture.

## **Project Overview**
|
| 8 |
* **Objective**: To build an efficient **binary toxicity classifier** using state-of-the-art NLP models.
|
| 9 |
* **Model Type**: Binary classification (Toxic vs. Non-Toxic).
|
| 10 |
* **Dataset**: Jigsaw Toxic Comment Classification Challenge.
|
| 11 |
* **Scope**: Includes data visualization, model benchmarking, and size reduction for deployment.

|

### **1. Data Preprocessing & EDA**
|
| 18 |
* **Labeling**: Multi-label categories (toxic, severe_toxic, obscene, threat, insult, identity_hate) were condensed into a single **binary 'is_toxic' label**.
|
| 19 |
* **Balancing**: The dataset was sampled to include 16,000 toxic and 16,000 non-toxic comments to ensure a balanced 32,000-sample training set.
|
| 20 |
* **Cleaning**: Newline characters were removed to standardize the text input for transformer tokenizers.
|
| 21 |
* **Visualization**: Word clouds were generated for both classes to identify the most frequent terms associated with toxic and non-toxic speech.

### **2. Embedding Benchmarking**
|
| 24 |
The project evaluated 15 different embedding sets across two categories:
|
| 25 |
* **Light Models**: Includes DistilBERT, MiniLM, ALBERT, and ELECTRA-Small.
|
| 26 |
* **Heavy Models**: Includes BERT, RoBERTa, DeBERTa, XLNet, and domain-specific models like **Toxic-BERT** and HateBERT.
