Meeting 10.11.21

First tasks

Prepare a report where you will explain:

• what is hate speech detection,
• where and why you can use hate-speech detection,
• what are state-of-the-art methods for hate speech detection,
• how can you evaluate a hate-speech detection system,
• what datasets for hate-speech detection are available,

The report should properly cite scientific bibliographical sources. Use a bibliography manager software, such as Mendeley.

Create a VPN connection to the university network to have access to the scientific databses. Use scientific indexes to discover literature:

• Scopus (available from TUKE VPN)
• Scholar

Your review can start with:

• Hate speech detection: Challenges and solutions
• HateBase
• Resources and benchmark corpora for hate speech detection: a systematic review

Get to know the Python programming language

• Read Dive into Python
• Install Anaconda
• Try HuggingFace Transformers library
