In plain words: A new dataset labels hate speech comments in several languages on multiple aspects at once, so one system can learn several judgments together. Tests on it show how these shared labels can improve detection and classification, unlike the usual one-language, one-task models.

Abstract

Current research on hate speech analysis is typically oriented towards monolingual and single classification tasks. In this paper, we present a new multilingual multi-aspect hate speech analysis dataset and use it to test the current state-of-the-art multilingual multitask learning approaches. We evaluate our dataset in various classification settings, then we discuss how to leverage our annotations in order to improve hate speech detection and classification in general.
