Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

This study seeks to contribute to the filling of this gap through the development of a model that can automate hate speech detection and classification in Philippine election-related tweets. The role of the microblogging site Twitter as a platform for the expression of support and hate during the 2016 Philippine presidential election has been supported in news reports and systematic studies. Thus, the particular question addressed in this paper is: Can existing techniques in language processing and machine learning be applied to detect hate speech in the Philippine election context?

Source Data

Initial Data Collection and Normalization

The dataset used in this study was a subset of the corpus 1,696,613 tweets crawled by Andrade et al. and posted from November 2015 to May 2016 during the campaign period for the Philippine presidential election. They were culled based on the presence of candidate names (e.g., Binay, Duterte, Poe, Roxas, and Santiago) and election-related hashtags (e.g., #Halalan2016, #Eleksyon2016, and #PiliPinas2016).

Data preprocessing was performed to prepare the tweets for feature extraction and classification. It consisted of the following steps: data de-identification, uniform resource locator (URL) removal, special character processing, normalization, hashtag processing, and tokenization.
