Transformer Ensembles for Sexism Detection

Abstract: This document presents in detail the work done for the sexism detection task at EXIST2021 workshop. Our methodology is built on ensembles of Transformer-based models which are trained on different background and corpora and fine-tuned on the provided dataset from the EXIST2021 workshop. We report accuracy of 0.767 for the binary classification task (task1), and f1 score 0.766, and for the multi-class task (task2) accuracy 0.623 and f1-score 0.535.
