Unintended Bias in Toxicity Classification

The objective of this project is to Classify unintended biases present in toxic comments. I have implemented Word as well as Sentence embedding using a bag of word method as well as the TF-IDF method. Also, Pre Trained Word embeddings like GloVe and Fast Text were used to achieve better accuracy. Implementation was done using a standard algorithm like Naive Bias, Random Forest, etc. I have also used a neural network using a hidden Dense layer which achieved the highest accuracy.
