Due\nto the massive rise of user-generated web content on social media, the amount\nof hate speech is also steadily increasing. Over the past years, interest in\nonline hate speech detection and, particularly, the automation of this task has\ncontinuously grown, along with the societal impact of the phenomenon. This\npaper describes a hate speech dataset composed of thousands of sentences\nmanually labelled as containing hate speech or not. The sentences have been\nextracted from Stormfront, a white supremacist forum. A custom annotation tool\nhas been developed to carry out the manual labelling task which, among other\nthings, allows the annotators to choose whether to read the context of a\nsentence before labelling it. The paper also provides a thoughtful qualitative\nand quantitative study of the resulting dataset and several baseline\nexperiments with different classification models. The dataset is publicly\navailable.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1809.04444v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1809.04444v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"hate-speech-dataset-from-a-white-supremacy","repo_url":"https://github.com/aitor-garcia-p/hate-speech-dataset","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"NOASSERTION"}},{"paper_slug":"hate-speech-dataset-from-a-white-supremacy","repo_url":"https://github.com/PyAntony/hate-speech","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"tf","reach":{"status":"ok"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"hate-speech-detection","task_name":"Hate Speech Detection"},{"task_slug":"sentence","task_name":"Sentence"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[{"slug":"hate-speech","name":"Hate Speech","full_name":""}],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1809.04444","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
