Pretrained HateSpans Models

We will be keep releasing new models. Please keep in touch.

Prediction

Following code can be used to predict toxic spans in text. Upon executing, it will download the relevant model and return the toxic spans.

from hatespans.app.hate_spans_app import HateSpansApp

app = HateSpansApp("small", use_cuda=False)
print(app.predict_hate_spans("You motherfucking cunt", spans=True))
