The MaNeCo Corpus is a large-scale dataset developed by the Institute of Linguistics and Language Technology at the University of Malta. It includes all user comments from Malta's largest online newspaper, "The Times of Malta", spanning from 2008 to 2017, with a total of over 2.5 million comments. This dataset covers not only publicly posted comments but also those removed by the newspaper's administrators, which often contain aggressive hate speech. The creation of the MaNeCo Corpus aims to analyze hate speech in online comments to study its characteristics and expression patterns, thereby supporting the development of automated hate speech detection technologies. The dataset encompasses multiple languages and language varieties, reflecting the multicultural and multilingual background of Maltese society.
