## Clarification
The multi-labelled tasks are *the hostility type of the tweet* and the *annotator's sentiment*. (We kept labels on which at least two annotators agreed.)

## Taxonomy
In further experiments that involved binary classification tasks of the hostility/hate/abuse type, we considered single-labelled *normal* instances to be *non-hate/non-toxic* and all the other instances to be *toxic*.

## Dataset
Our dataset is composed of three csv files sorted by language. They contain the tweets and the annotations described in our paper:

the hostility type *(column: tweet sentiment)* 

hostility directness *(column: directness)* 

target attribute *(column: target)*

target group *(column: group)* 

annotator's sentiment *(column: annotator sentiment)*.
