Hate Speech Detection in Turkish and Arabic Languages: A Comprehensive Study

arXiv:2607.00143v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Online hate speech has been linked to a global rise in violence against minorities, including incidents such as mass shootings, lynchings, and ethnic cleansing. Societies grappling with this issue, particularly when hate speech targets specific groups based on religion, race, ethnicity, culture, nationality, or migration status, face the challenge of balancing freedom of expression with the need for effective content moderation on widely used online platforms. In response to this challenge, we introduce a comprehensive hate speech dataset coverin
