Title
Demographic Word Embeddings for Racism Detection on Twitter.
Abstract
Most social media platforms grant usersfreedom of speech by allowing them tofreely express their thoughts, beliefs, andopinions. Although this represents incredible and unique communication opportunities, it also presents important challenges. Online racism is such an example. In this study, we present a super-vised learning strategy to detect racist language on Twitter based on word embeddings that incorporate demographic (Age, Gender, and Location) information. Our methodology achieves reasonable classification accuracy over a gold standard dataset (F1=76.3%) and significantly improves over classification performance of demographic-agnostic model
