| Challenge: | Existing models for toxic span detection only classify text snippets as offensive or not . a novel model seeks to simultaneously predict offensive words and opinion phrases . |
| Approach: | They propose a novel model that seeks to predict offensive words and opinion phrases simultaneously . they also introduce a regularization mechanism to encourage consistency of the model predictions . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model performs well compared to baselines on toxic span detection tasks . it predicts offensive words and opinion phrases to leverage inter-dependencies . |
