Abstract
This report gives an overview of the various machine learning algorithms implemented to detect certain comments that may appear insulting to another participant on a social networking platform. Feature selection was performed using n-grams, and the WEKA machine learning toolkit was used to build supervised learning clasifiers, that provided an accuracy of 82% on the test dataset. The dataset was obtained from the popular data science competition portal, Kaggle.
