About the Project

Automatic hate speech detection in online news media

StopPropagHate uses artificial intelligence to help detect and reduce hate speech in online news media. It’s important for news organisations to instigate online discussion, but dealing with the immediacy of user feedback is not an easy task – especially when discussion turns offensive. Using StopPropagHate’s API supported by machine learning techniques, news organisations can automatically identify hate speech within comments, but also predict the likelihood of a news piece to generate such comments in the first place.
