Hate Speech Detection/Evidence
Method evidence record

Hate Speech Detection

Hate speech detection is a natural-language-processing task that automatically identifies hateful, offensive, or harmful text on social media and online platforms. The task was sharpened by Davidson and colleagues (2017), who showed why separating genuine hate speech from merely offensive language is a hard, distinct classification problem rather than a single toxicity score.
