Baszta: Data-Centric Fine-Tuning of a Polish Multi-Label Safety Classifier

来源摘要

arXiv:2609.29266v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We develop a multi-label Polish content-safety classifier by fine-tuning allegro/herbert-base-cased (124M) across five categories (hate, vulgarity, sexual content, crime, self-harm) using a Focal + R-Drop objective, and evaluate the resulting model against Bielik Guard (S\'ojka) on the shared out-of-distribution Gadzi J\k{e}zyk benchmark. Both systems are given per-category threshold tuning on the same calibration split. Under that matched protocol our model holds a small but statistically significant lead in micro F1, while an apparent macro-F1 lead does not survive: it was an artifact of comparing a tuned model against an untuned one. We also report what that micro figure is worth. Because Gadzi J\k{e}zyk is 97% crime-positive, a classifier that flags crime on every input and nothing else already scores 0.910 micro F1 on the same test split, so micro separates neither system from a degenerate strategy and macro is the column that does. Per-category and per-protocol figures are reported in Section 4. The residual out-of-distribution gap is one of calibration rather than discrimination. Ranking quality stays high while positive probabilities collapse, and per-category temperature scaling recovers the loss where Platt scaling and isotonic regression do not. That recovery turns out to be conditional on the calibration set containing safe text. Gadzi J\k{e}zyk contains almost none, so thresholds fitted on it flag crime on every safe input, and a balanced refit buys a deployable operating point at the cost of adversarial recall. We report both operating points rather than only the flattering one. Two changes that are standard practice, per-class cost-sensitive weighting and mean pooling, each raise in-distribution macro F1 whi
