Mavericks at BLP-2023 Task 1: Ensemble-based Approach Using Language Models for Violence Inciting Text Detection

This study explores the use of BERT-based models for the detection of violence-inciting texts in social media, specifically in the Bangla language. The team evaluated several models and used an ensemble of these models for their final submission. The task was part of the First Workshop on Bangla Language Processing, where the team ranked 10th. The paper underscores the importance of efficient mechanisms to detect and curb the propagation of violence-inciting texts, especially in low-resource settings.
