International Project Combats Online Anti-Semitism through Artificial Intelligence
(Jerusalem Post) Tobias Siegal - The "Decoding Anti-Semitism" project aims to combat the spread of anti-Semitism and hatred online by using artificial intelligence (AI). An international team of discourse analysts, computational linguists and historians is currently developing an AI-driven approach to identifying online anti-Semitism. Dr. Matthias J. Becker, a linguist leading the project at the Technical University Berlin, pointed to the connection between online hate speech and actual hate crimes. "We see that hate speech online and hate crimes are to some extent always connected. In order to prevent that more and more users become radicalized on the web, it is important to identify the real dimensions of anti-Semitism."
