ABSTRACT
A quality annotated corpus is essential to research. Despite the re- cent focus of the Web science community on cyberbullying research, the community lacks standard benchmarks. This paper provides both a quality annotated corpus and an o ensive words lexicon capturing di erent types of harassment content: (i) sexual, (ii) racial, (iii) appearance-related, (iv) intellectual, and (v) political1. We rst crawled data from Twitter using this content-tailored o ensive lexicon. As mere presence of an o ensive word is not a reliable indicator of harassment, human judges annotated tweets for the presence of harassment. Our corpus consists of 25,000 annotated tweets for the ve types of harassment content and is available on the Git repository2.
