contents This paper highlights the significance of natural language processing (NLP) within artificial intelligence, underscoring its pivotal role in comprehending and modeling human language. Recent advancements in NLP, particularly in conversational bots, have garnered substantial attention and adoption among developers. This paper explores advanced methodologies for attaining smaller and more efficient NLP models. Specifically, we employ three key approaches: (1) training a Transformer-based neural network to detect offensive language, (2) employing data augmentation and knowledge distillation techniques to increase performance, and (3) incorporating multi-task learning with knowledge distillation and teacher annealing using diverse datasets to enhance efficiency. The culmination of these methods has yielded demonstrably improved outcomes.
