# Measuring Hate Speech
This is a public release of the dataset described in Kennedy et al. (2020). The dataset contains one row for each comment that an annotator reviews; each comment is rated multiple times. The primary outcome variable is the "hate speech score" but the 10 constituent labels can also be treated as outcomes.
## Key dataset columns
* hate\_speech\_score - continuous hate speech measure, where higher = more hateful and lower = less hateful
* text - lightly processed text of a social media post
* comment\_id - unique ID for each comment
* annotator\_id - unique ID for each annotator
* sentiment - ordinal label that is combined into the continuous score
* respect - ordinal label that is combined into the continuous score
* insult - ordinal label that is combined into the continuous score
* humiliate - ordinal label that is combined into the continuous score
* status - ordinal label that is combined into the continuous score
* dehumanize - ordinal label that is combined into the continuous score
* violence - ordinal label that is combined into the continuous score
* genocide - ordinal label that is combined into the continuous score
* attack\_defend - ordinal label that is combined into the continuous score
* hatespeech - ordinal label that is combined into the continuous score
* annotator_severity - annotator's estimated survey interpretation bias
