This is Korean context-dependent hate speech dataset, KOCOH.

Main concept

• Hate speech
  • Verbal or non-verbal expressions that propagate or promote prejudice or discrimination against minorities (groups with common identity who have relatively diminished political and social power), or denigrate, insult, or threaten individuals or groups based on their attributes as minorities, or incites discrimination, hostility, or violence against them (Hong, 2018)
• Context-dependent hate speech
  • Hate speech interpreted as hateful through contextual factors rather than explicit content alone
  • In other words, without context, the statement itself may appear neutral or even positive in interpretation
  • Examples
