Strengths & Weaknesses
↑ Strengths
↓ Weaknesses
Toxic-BERT is primarily trained on English datasets, leading to reduced accuracy in classifying toxic content in other languages.
BERT models are known to struggle with longer texts due to tokenization limits and computational overhead, which can reduce the model's effectiveness for lengthy content moderation tasks.
Running Toxic-BERT requires significant computational resources, particularly GPU time, making it expensive at scale or impractical on lower-end hardware.
