This repository collects materials related to the detection of explicit song lyrics, i.e., determining if the lyrics of a given song could be offensive or unsuitable for children.
The english folder contains Python code for detecting explicit song lyrics in English, while the italian folder contains Python code for detecting explicit song lyrics in Italian. Folder english-reasons provides material for tackling the fine-grained detection of explicit content in (English) song lyrics.
Links to ready-to-use models for detecting explicit lyrics are available in both folders.
