### Dataset Summary
![Graphical representation of the dataset](Dataset%20graph.png)
This dataset is a collection of tweets posted in response to news articles from five specific Argentinean news outlets: Clarín, Infobae, La Nación, Perfil and Crónica, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The comments were annotated for the presence of hate speech across eight different characteristics: against women, racist content, class hatred, against LGBTQ+ individuals, against physical appearance, against people with disabilities, against criminals, and for political reasons. All the data is in Spanish.

Each comment is labeled with the following variables



| Label      | Description                                                             |
| :--------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| HATEFUL    | Contains hate speech (HS)?                                              |
| CALLS      | If it is hateful, is this message calling to (possibly violent) action? |
| WOMEN      | Is this against women?                                                  |
| LGBTI      | Is this against LGBTI people?                                           |
| RACISM     | Is this a racist message?                                               |
| CLASS      | Is this a classist message?                                             |
| POLITICS   | Is this HS due to political ideology?                                   |
| DISABLED   | Is this HS against disabled people?                                     |
| APPEARANCE | Is this HS against people due to their appearance? (e.g. fatshaming)    |
| CRIMINAL   | Is this HS against criminals or people in conflict with law?            |



There is an extra label `CALLS`, which represents whether a comment is a call to violent action or not.

For each comment, we have a list of annotators who marked the comment first as HATEFUL, and then the selected categories (one or more).
