Abstract
The objective of this paper is to provide a description for a classification system built for SemEval-2019 Task 6: OffensEval. This system classifies a tweet as either offensive or not offensive (Sub-task A) and further classifies offensive tweets into categories (Sub-tasks B - C). The system consists of two phases; a brute-force grid search to find the best learners amongst a given set and an ensemble of a subset of these best learners. The system achieved an F1-score of 0.728, ranking in subtask A, an F1-score score of 0.616 in subtask B and an F1-score of 0.509 in subtask C.
