PT Hate Speech

Introduced by Paula Fortuna et al. in A Hierarchically-Labeled Portuguese Hate Speech Dataset1 Aug 2019 archive 2025-07-28

The PT Hate Speech is a valuable resource for studying hate speech in the Portuguese language. Here are the key details about this dataset:

  1. Composition:
  2. The dataset consists of 5,668 tweets written in Portuguese.
  3. Annotators labeled these tweets using two different schemes based on their expertise levels.

  4. Annotation Schemes:

  5. Non-experts initially annotated the tweets using binary labels: either 'hate' or 'no-hate'.
  6. Expert annotators then classified the tweets using a fine-grained hierarchical multiple label scheme. This scheme includes 81 hate speech categories in total.

  7. Hierarchical Annotation Scheme:

  8. The hierarchical approach allows for identifying different types of hate speech and their intersections.
  9. The inter-annotator agreement varied across categories, reflecting the nuanced nature of hate speech perception.

  10. Usefulness and Baseline Experiment:

  11. To demonstrate the dataset's usefulness, a baseline classification experiment was conducted using pre-trained word embeddings and LSTM models.
  12. The results achieved a state-of-the-art outcome.
