构建英国议员网络暴力数据集,揭示政治攻击中的人身侮辱特征。

Hostility Detection in UK Politics: A Dataset on Online Abuse Targeting MPs

  • 人工标注3320条英国议员推文,识别针对议员的敌意内容。
  • 发现攻击常关联种族、性别等身份特征,且与脱欧等议题相关。
  • 提供可用于检测政治敌意及身份指向的基准数据集,适合政策研究者使用。

众多政客通过社交媒体平台(尤其是X)与选民互动,但这也使他们面临大量敌意评论,尤其在匿名环境下。这些攻击不仅针对其公职角色,还常涉及个人身份(如种族、性别、宗教),可能损害公众对政府的信任,激化情绪甚至引发线下暴力。尽管已有多种通用敌意检测模型,但缺乏对政治语境的针对性,且各国政治议题差异显著(如英国的脱欧问题)。为此,我们构建了一个包含3,320条英文推文的数据集,覆盖两年时间,经人工标注以识别对英国议员的敌意攻击,并记录攻击中涉及的身份特征(种族、性别、宗教或无)。通过语言学与主题分析,揭示了英国政治语境下敌意内容的独特性。我们进一步评估了预训练语言模型与大语言模型在二分类敌意检测及多分类身份指向识别任务中的表现。本研究为英国政治敌意现象的研究提供了重要数据与洞见。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Numerous politicians use social media platforms, particularly X, to engage with their constituents. This interaction allows constituents to pose questions and offer feedback but also exposes politicians to a barrage of hostile responses, especially given the anonymity afforded by social media. They are typically targeted in relation to their governmental role, but the comments also tend to attack their personal identity. This can discredit politicians and reduce public trust in the government. It can also incite anger and disrespect, leading to offline harm and violence. While numerous models exist for detecting hostility in general, they lack the specificity required for political contexts. Furthermore, addressing hostility towards politicians demands tailored approaches due to the distinct language and issues inherent to each country (e.g., Brexit for the UK). To bridge this gap, we construct a dataset of 3,320 English tweets spanning a two-year period manually annotated for hostility towards UK MPs. Our dataset also captures the targeted identity characteristics (race, gender, religion, none) in hostile tweets. We perform linguistic and topical analyses to delve into the unique content of the UK political data. Finally, we evaluate the performance of pre-trained language models and large language models on binary hostility detection and multi-class targeted identity type classification tasks. Our study offers valuable data and insights for future research on the prevalence and nature of politics-related hostility specific to the UK.
