Grammarly developed a novel approach to detect delicate text content that goes beyond traditional toxicity detection, addressing a gap in content safety. They created DeTexD, a benchmark dataset of 40,000 training samples and 1,023 test paragraphs, and developed a RoBERTa-based classification model that achieved 79.3% F1 score, significantly outperforming existing toxic text detection methods for identifying potentially triggering or emotionally charged content.
# Grammarly's Delicate Text Detection System: A Comprehensive LLMOps Case Study
## Project Overview
Grammarly has developed an innovative system for detecting delicate text content, addressing a critical gap in content safety that goes beyond traditional toxicity detection. This case study demonstrates a complete MLOps lifecycle, from problem definition to production deployment, showcasing best practices in building and deploying NLP systems at scale.
## Problem Definition and Data Engineering
- Identified a gap in existing content moderation systems that focus primarily on toxic content
- Developed a broader definition of "delicate text" that includes emotionally charged or potentially triggering content
- Created a comprehensive data collection and annotation pipeline:
