Approximation of Hate Detection Processes in Spanish and Other Non-Anglo-Saxon Languages

Abstract

In this chapter, the authors present how the use of artificial intelligence (AI) can help to identify and reduce the new digital crimes according to hate messages. The appearance of the internet in our lives, at the end of the last century, has meant a great technological advance, providing easier access to a huge volume of information and communication between people. The rise of communication-oriented networks has been such that true digital environments have been created, the so-called social networks, with millions of users all over the planet. This has meant, to a large extent, the modification of our personal relationships, and, unfortunately, the appearance of new ways of sending hate messages. The work presented is aimed at a digital tool built for this purpose for the automatic detection of hate (and non-hate) messages, in Spanish and other non-Anglo-Saxon languages, with AI algorithms, using training data from the Spanish language.
