# SEA Toxicity Detection
SEA Toxicity Detection evaluates a model's ability to identify toxic content such as hate speech and abusive language in text.  It is sampled from [MLHSD](https://aclanthology.org/W19-3506/) for Indonesian, [TTD](http://lrec-conf.org/workshops/lrec2018/W32/pdf/1_W32.pdf) for Thai, and [ViHSD](https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-79457-6_35) for Vietnamese.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
SEA Toxicity Detection is designed for evaluating chat or instruction-tuned large language models (LLMs). It is part of the [SEA-HELM](https://leaderboard.sea-lion.ai/) leaderboard from [AI Singapore](https://aisingapore.org/).

### Languages
- Indonesian (id)
- Thai (th)
- Vietnamese (vi)

### Dataset Details
SEA Toxicity Detection is split by language, with additional splits containing fewshot examples. Below are the statistics for this dataset. The number of tokens only refer to the strings of text found within the `prompts` column.

| Split | # of examples | # of GPT-4o tokens | # of Gemma 2 tokens | # of Llama 3 tokens |
|-|:-|:-|:-|:-|
| id | 1000 | 34416 | 34238 | 40537
| th | 1000 | 38189 | 35980 | 42901
| vi | 1000 | 17540 | 16904 | 18287
| id_fewshot | 5 | 183 | 174 | 216
| th_fewshot | 5 | 130 | 121 | 150
| vi_fewshot | 5 | 104 | 97 | 104
| **total** | 3015 | 90562 | 87514 | 102195 |
