# Toxic-comments

The dataset contains labeled examples of toxic and non-toxic text comments. Each comment is labeled with one of the two classes: "hate" or "not hate." 

The classes are balanced, with an equal number of samples for each class.

The dataset is a smaller version of the original dataset [Toxic Comment Classification Challenge Dataset](https://github.com/tianqwang/Toxic-Comment-Classification-Challenge), originally curated by the [Conversation AI](https://conversationai.github.io/) team. 

The original dataset contains an unequal distribution of “_hate_” and “_not hate_” samples for multi-classification. 

The smaller version contains equal “_hate_” and “_not hate_” samples.
