Data set for LREC 2020 paper "I Feel Offended, Don't Be Abusive!"

The repository is structured as follows:

• data/ : the folder contains the enriched versions of the OffensEval/OLID dataset with the distinction of explicit/implicit offensive messages (./data/offenseval_explicit_implicit) and the newly proposed annotations of abusive messages (./data/abuseval_labels)
• dictionary-based_experiments/ : the folder contains the script to replicate the dictionary experiments reported in the paper (OffenseEval sub-task A and AbuseEval binary classification)
• keywords/ : the folder contains the list of the top 50 keywords from the OffensEval training and test data for sub-task A per class (list of keywords for offensive and not offensive messages)

OLID/OffensEval Data: https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/20011

The annotation of the explicit-implicit labels in OffensEval has been conducted by a male (38, Italian) and a female (39, Serbian) annotators, highly educated, with a background in computational linguistics, and familiar with Twitter.

The inter-annotator agreement of AbuseEval has been conducted by three annotators: 1 man (38, Italian) and 2 women (39, Serbian; 23, Russian); all highly educated, with a background in computational linguistics, and familiar with Twitter. The full annotation of AbuseEval has been conducted by one annotator (23, Russian), highly educated and with a background in computational linguistics.

All ages refer to the time of annotation: 2019.
