Social media has become a vital platform for information exchange and free expression, yet its open nature also contributes to the spread of harmful content, including hate speech, cyberbullying, and offensive language, posing serious risks to societal well-being. Such content is linked to adverse impacts, including mental health issues. This study aims to develop an automated system for detecting hate speech in Devanagari script languages, enabling efficient moderation and prompt intervention. Our approach utilizes a fine-tuned transformer model to classify offensive content. We experimented with various machine learning (Logistic Regression, SVM, Ensemble methods) and deep learning architectures (CNN, BiLSTM, CNN-BiLSTM) alongside transformer-based models (Indic-SBERT, m-BERT, MuRIL, Indic-SBERT, XLM-R). Notably, the fine-tuned XLM-Roberta model achieved the highest performance, reaching a macro-average F1-score of 0.74, demonstrating its efficacy in detecting hate speech in Devanagari script languages. However, the model we submitted achieved a macro-average F1-score of 0.73, securing 13th place in the subtask.
