HateDay
This dataset consists of twelve representative sets of Twitter annotated for hate speech detection for eight languages and four countries. Each representative set corresponds to a language or country and consists of 20,000 tweets randomly sampled from all tweets posted on September 21, 2022 in that language or country, for a total of 240K annotated tweets. We cover eight languages (Arabic, English, French, German, Indonesian, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish) and four countries where English is the main language on Twitter (United States, India, Nigeria, Kenya). Each tweet is labeled as hateful, offensive or neutral by three human annotators and the final label is determined by majority vote. In case the tweet is marked as hateful, the target of hate is also indicated.
The dataset and annotation process are presented in more details in the corresponding paper.
