The project kNOwHATE - kNOwing online HATE speech: knowledge + awareness = TacklingHate aimed to analyze online hate speech in social media platforms in Portugal. The project combined social and language sciences with cutting edge computer sciences techniques, offering a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach that allowed them to develop a prototype for a hate speech detection model with the potential to inform detection algorithms. One of the main conclusions of the project was that there is not a single hate speech, but rather multiple hateful discourses, mobilizing different contents and using diverse linguistic-discursive strategies; the most veiled and subtle forms of expression were the most prevalent in the data analyzed.
