Decoding Antisemitism: An AI-driven Study on Hate Speech and Imagery Online

The pilot project „Decoding Antisemitism“, carried out by researchers at the Centre for Research on Antisemitism (ZfA, TU Berlin) in collaboration with HTW Berlin, University of Michigan—School of Information, Cardiff’s HateLab and King’s College London, and examines explicit and implicit antisemitism on leading social media.



INFO


 
“Decoding Antisemitism” is an interdisciplinary and transnational research project that examines antisemitism online, focusing on the political mainstream of selected European societies – the UK, France and Germany. Antisemitic discourse on the internet provides insights into the present and future of an ideology of hate which, due to its adaptability, permeates all social milieus and is currently experiencing a new high – not least due to the specific character of web communication.

For the analysis of antisemitism online, the research design must be able to capture it both in detail and in its spread. Accordingly, in this project antisemitism is analysed in several stages.

The results of the study “Decoding Antisemitism” will be presented on Thursday in a digital press conference by the Center for Antisemitism Research at TU Berlin and HTW Berlin.


Thursday / 18, April / 10:30 a.m. / online
