Factoring Hate Speech: A New Annotation Framework to Study Hate Speech in Social Media

Gal Ron, Effi Levi, Odelia Oshri, Shaul R. Shenhav

In this work we propose a novel annotation scheme which factors hate speech into five separate discursive categories. To evaluate our scheme, we construct a corpus of over 2.9M Twitter posts containing hateful expressions directed at Jews, and annotate a sample dataset of 1,050 tweets. We present a statistical analysis of the annotated dataset as well as discuss annotation examples, and conclude by discussing promising directions for future work.
