Team LEGO at SemEval-2022 Task 4: Machine Learning Methods for PCL Detection

Abhishek Singh


Abstract
In this paper, we present our submission to the SemEval 2022 - Task 4 on Patronizing and Condescending Language (PCL) detection. Weapproach this problem as a traditional text classification problem with machine learning (ML)methods. We experiment and investigate theuse of various ML algorithms for detecting PCL in news articles. Our best methodology achieves an F1- Score of 0.39 for subtask1 witha rank of 63 out of 80, and F1-score of 0.082for subtask2 with a rank of 41 out of 48 on the blind dataset provided in the shared task.
