{"url":"/dataset/xhate999","name":"Xhate999","full_name":"Xhate999","description_markdown":"We present XHate-999, a multi-domain and multilingual evaluation data set for abusive language detection. By aligning test instances across six typologically diverse languages, XHate-999 for the first time allows for disentanglement of the domain transfer and language transfer effects in abusive language detection. We conduct a series of domain- and language-transfer experiments with state-of-the-art monolingual and multilingual transformer models, setting strong baseline results and profiling XHate-999 as a comprehensive evaluation resource for abusive language detection. Finally, we show that domain- and language-adaption, via intermediate masked language modeling on abusive corpora in the target language, can lead to substantially improved abusive language detection in the target language in the zero-shot transfer setups.","description_withheld":null,"homepage":"","introduced_date":"2020-12-01","introduced_date_note":null,"introduced_by":{"paper":"/paper/xhate-999-analyzing-and-detecting-abusive","title":"XHate-999: Analyzing and Detecting Abusive Language Across Domains and Languages","first_author":"Goran Glava{\\v{s}}","url":null},"license":null,"modalities":[{"name":"Texts","url":"/datasets/modality/texts"}],"tasks":[{"name":"Classification","url":"/task/classification-1","datasets_with_task":"/datasets/task/classification-1"}],"languages":[{"name":"English","url":"/datasets/language/english"}],"variants":["Xhate999"],"data_loaders":[],"num_papers_in_archive":3,"source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28"},"benchmarks":[],"papers_with_a_benchmark_row":[],"syntology_totals":{"read_at":"2026-09-24T18:15:14+00:00","papers_with_samples":0,"samples_harvested":0,"samples_ran":0,"samples_unverified":0,"pointer_only_for_licence":0,"papers_with_no_sample_that_ran":0,"note":"the per-paper counts above, summed; not a rate"},"papers_note":"The archive never published its papers-using-dataset list; these are papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks."}
