Tiny-Toxic-Detector: A compact transformer-based model for toxic content detection
<|reference_start|>Tiny-Toxic-Detector: A compact transformer-based model for toxic content detection: This paper presents Tiny-toxic-detector, a compact transformer-based model designed for toxic content detection. Despite having only 2.1 million parameters, Tiny-toxic-detector achieves competitive performance on benchmark datasets, with 90.97% accuracy on ToxiGen and 86.98% accuracy on the Jigsaw dataset, rivaling models over 50 times its size. This efficiency enables deployment in resource-constrained environments, addressing the need for effective content moderation tools that balance performance with computational efficiency. The model architecture features 4 transformer encoder layers, each with 2 attention heads, an embedding dimension of 64, and a feedforward dimension of 128. Trained on both public and private datasets, Tiny-toxic-detector demonstrates the potential of efficient, task-specific models for addressing online toxicity. The paper covers the model architecture, training process, performance benchmarks, and limitations, underscoring its suitability for applications such as social media monitoring and content moderation. By achieving results comparable to much larger models while significantly reducing computational demands, Tiny-toxic-detector represents progress toward more sustainable and scalable AI-driven content moderation solutions.<|reference_end|>
