摘要:

算法被广泛应用于检测社交媒体中的仇恨言论和辱骂性语言。我们调查了用于训练这些算法的人工注释数据是否存在偏差。我们利用了一个公开的注释Twitter数据集(Founta et al. 2018),并对99,996条推文的种族,性别和党派识别维度进行了分类。结果显示,非裔美国人的推文被贴上辱骂标签的可能性高达3.7倍,而非裔美国人男性的推文被贴上仇恨标签的可能性高达77%。这些模式在统计学上是显著的和稳健的,即使当政党身份被添加为控制变量。这项研究提供了关于仇恨言论和辱骂性语言数据集中交叉偏见的第一个系统证据。

英文摘要:

Algorithms are widely applied to detect hate speech and abusive language in social media. We investigated whether the human-annotated data used to train these algorithms are biased. We utilized a publicly available annotated Twitter dataset (Founta et al. 2018) and classified the racial, gender, and party identification dimensions of 99,996 tweets. The results showed that African American tweets were up to 3.7 times more likely to be labeled as abusive, and African American male tweets were up to 77% more likely to be labeled as hateful compared to the others. These patterns were statistically significant and robust even when party identification was added as a control variable. This study provides the first systematic evidence on intersectional bias in datasets of hate speech and abusive language.
