# Toxic Classification Model
Code and data for the EMNLP 2021 paper ["Just Say No: Analyzing the Stance of Neural Dialogue Generation in Offensive Contexts"](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2108.11830.pdf).

## Install dependencies
`conda env create -f environment.yml`

## Dataset

We crowd-annotate a dataset of 2,000 Reddit threads and chatbot model responses labeled with offensive language and stance. We split this data into train dev and test splits with 1400, 300 and 300 threads respectively. The data is available in the folder `data/ToxiChat/` in `.jsonl` files with each json object representing one full conversation with labels. An example conversation json object is given below

```json
{
"reddit_thread": [
{
"turn_id": 1,
"text": " Title: [Question] Why do Libertarians get so much flack from the rest of reddit \
Like seriously I was downvoted when I said “Libertarian is a good one” on a post about third party voting. ",

"offense_targets": []
},

## Offensive and Stance Classification models

### Single instance Offensive Classification

#### NBOW model
We will train NBOW single sentence classification model initialized with GloVe embedding
To train NBOW model, you'd need to download and extract [GloVe vectors](https://nlp.stanford.edu/data/glove.6B.zip) into `data/GloVe/` dir and then run `python convert_glove_text_vectors_to_pkl.py` from within the directory
- Training offensive classifier on ToxiChat data. (OC_S = ToxiChat)
`python experiments/train_and_evaluate_NBOW_offensive_classifier.py -g data/GloVe/glove.6B.300d.pkl -td "{'OC_S':'data/OC_S_post_thread/'}" -s saved_models/OC_S_post_thread/NBOW_OC_S_offensive_e30 -o results/OC_S_post_thread/NBOW_OC_S_offensive_e30 -e 30 -dv 1 -t`

# Mitigating Offensive language using Controlled Text Generation

## Dataset Preparation
We will first create a dataset of posts and comments from all of the reddit. Then we will create comment trees from these posts and comments and label them with our stance and offensive classifiers

### Downloading the reddit posts and comments dumps
1. Download the reddit comments and submissions dumps from August(08) to October(10), 2019 in the data folder
```bash
mkdir -p data/reddit_dumps/comments_compressed

## Generate Responses on evaluation test threads using Control Text Generation models
Control labels [OFF]/[SAFE] and [AGREE]/[NO-STANCE]

We extracted 1000 offensive test threads from reddit using high-precision predictions from our classifiers. The first 500 threads contain offensive final response and last 500 threads contain safe final response. The threads and their classifier predictions are present in a pickle file at `data/test_threads.pkl`

## Automatic evalution of Control Text Generation test predictions
This script will automatically evaluate all the generated responses from different models and save the metrics into on readable csv file.
