Description

Wikipedia Abusive Conversations (WAC) is a large corpus of Wikipedia conversations annotated 3 types of abusive content (personal attack, aggression and toxicity). We developped a reconstruction pipeline to synchronize 2 existing corpora of Wikipedia comments and create WAC. This repository contains the source code used to perform this alignment.
