To perform any NLP task, we have to develop the necessary resources from scratch. This paper introduces our work on MAOffens, the first MA dataset for offensive language detection. The dataset will serve to build predictive models to detect offensive content widely present on social media and hence help ensure online safety. We built the dataset with a mixture of comments in Arabic and Latin scripts to cover offensiveness in both cases. The resulting dataset consists of 23k comments totally balanced. The dataset is open to the public (https://huggingface.co/datasets/randa/maoffens). We evaluated the annotation and classification power of the dataset through various classifier architectures. Our best performing classifier was based on a MA transformer model.",146 147isbn="978-3-031-80438-0"148}149 150 151**APA:**152 153[More Information Needed]154 155## Glossary [optional]156 157<!-- If relevant, include terms and calculations in this section that can help readers understand the dataset or dataset card. -->158 159[More Information Needed]160 161## More Information [optional]162 163[More Information Needed]164 165## Dataset Card Authors [optional]166 167[More Information Needed]168 169## Dataset Card Contact170 171[More Information Needed]
