Data Against Racism

From March 25th to April 1st, BcnAnalytics organized a Datathon Against Racism. Several teams had to build a model to classify text messages as racist or as not racist. We had great learnings and tons of fun.

Now we want to share some of the great work done during the Datathon and we have asked three of the teams to share the technical approach they took to build their NLP models and also the insights they were able to generate.

We will also explain how we prepared the Datathon with more emphasis on how built the dataset (which we will make publicly available).
