HADES

This is a work-in-progress repository for the CLiPS HAte speech DEtection System (HADES).

Currently, the repository contains the supplementary materials from the paper: "A Dictionary-based Approach to Racism Detection in Dutch Social Media", presented at the TA-COS workshop at LREC 2016.

usage

The dictionaries are in .csv format. The first word of each line is the category name, while the other words are the words in that category. Included is a python (2.7 & 3.x) script which reads in the dictionaries and outputs relative frequencies. It can be used for similar dictionaries, such as the LIWC dictionaries.

example

from dictfeaturizer import DictFeaturizer

# Load from csv
d = DictFeaturizer.load("expanded.csv")
text = "this is an example text".split()
score = d.transform(text)

# Direct initialization
direct = {"good": ["good", "splendid"], "bad": ["bad", "useless"]}
d = DictFeaturizer(direct, relative=False)
text = "This stuff is splendid".split()
score_2 = d.transform(text)
