A Tool for Hate Speech Detection on the Internet is Developed
As the number of online hate comments increases, artificial intelligence comes to the aid: researchers from Vytautas Magnus University (VMU), together with the Lithuanian Human Rights Center, European Foundation of Human Rights and the Department of National Minorities under the Government of the Republic of Lithuania, developed a tool intended to help automatically detect and remove cases of hate speech, for instance, in the comment sections of news portals. According to one of the project “#Be Hate-Free: Building Hate-Free Communities in Lithuania” developers, Professor Tomas Krilavičius, Dean of the VMU Faculty of Informatics, the development of such a tool is quite challenging: people themselves often find it difficult to recognize hate speech, and artificial intelligence needs to be thoroughly trained to do so.
