SIU2023-NST - Hate Speech Detection Contest

Hate speech spread on social media can strongly affect people and societies, especially when it targets a specific group of people in terms of religion, culture, or a specific social situation, such as refugees. For this reason, the detection and elimination of hate speech in social networks have attracted the attention of natural language processing researchers in recent years. A competition is organized to benchmark progress in Turkish hate speech recognition, within SIU2023 Computational Social Sciences special session, with four different tasks. A total of 20 teams registered for the competition, while eight teams submitted results at the end. The details of the winning models and their results are explained in this paper.
