Abstract

Sentiment Analysis, often known as opinion mining, is the tech-nique of determining whether text data is positive, neutral, or neg-ative using natural language processing, computer linguistics, and related technology. Hate Speech, on the other hand, is abusive or threatening speech or writing that conveys prejudice, hatred, and/or urges violence against a person or group of people because of their race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation.With the exponential rise in the number of individuals using social media, where lots of stuff is shared everyday that is ostensibly harmless, hate speech has also increased dramatically. The necessity for identifying and detect-ing hate speech on social media platforms, particularly Twitter, has grown considerably, as large corporations work to establish mech-anisms to combat hate speech online. The goal of this project is to meet the demand for recognising unfavourable tweets that promote hate speech. 3
