STOP-HATE is an automatic detector of hate speech on Twitter in Spanish developed by the Observatory for Audiovisual Contents of the University of Salamanca, and with the collaboration of the Supercomputing Center of Castilla y León –Scayle–.

The detector has been generated with supervised machine learning techniques using superficial algorithms, but also deep learning, which has allowed to overcome the limitations of other prototypes.

Specifically, STOP-HATE is capable of detecting latent hate speech in messages spread on Twitter for reasons of racism and/or xenophobia, political ideology, and sexual orientation and gender identity.

This project has been funded by the European Regional Development Fund and the Regional Government of Castilla y León within the framework of the T-CUE Plan, managed by the General Foundation of the University of Salamanca.
