This model is a fine-tuned version of bert-base-uncased for toxicity detection in Turkish text. It has been trained on labeled datasets containing online comments categorized by their toxicity levels. The model uses the Hugging Face transformers library and is suitable for sequence classification tasks. This work was completed as a project assignment for the Natural Language Processing (CENG493) course at Çankaya University.
Model Type: Sequence Classification
Language(s): Turkish
License: GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Fine-tuned from:dbmdz/bert-base-turkish-cased
Uses
This model can be used directly to analyze the toxicity of text in Turkish. For example:
Content moderation in online forums and social media platforms
Filtering harmful language in customer reviews or feedback
Monitoring and preventing cyberbullying in messaging applications
Downstream Use
Integrating toxic language filtering into chatbots or virtual assistants
Using it as part of a sentiment analysis pipeline
Out-of-Scope Use
Not suitable for analyzing languages other than Turkish
Should not be used for sensitive decision-making without human oversight
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
The model may inherit biases from the training data, including overrepresentation or underrepresentation of certain demographics or topics. It may also misclassify non-toxic content as toxic or fail to detect subtler forms of toxicity.
Recommendations
Users should:
Avoid deploying the model in high-stakes scenarios without additional validation.
Regularly monitor performance and update the model if new biases are detected.
