HateBRXplain: The Evaluation Benchmark for Explainable Hate Speech Detection in Brazilian Portuguese

HateBR is the first large-scale evaluation benchmark for explainable hate speech detection in Brazilian Portuguese. It contains 7,000 documents annotated with a binary classification (offensive vs. non-offensive comments), where the offensive comments (3,500) include human-annotated rationales. The rationales were annotated by two different annotators.
