Using machine learning to automatically detect racism in memes.
20 May 2021
Participants are required to identify offensive/racist memes from a database. They are then required to complete a quick survey on the offensive memes about whether they thought the text, the image or the combination of both made the meme offensive. This project is hoping to mitigate against some of the online harassment people receive.

I am a final year university student at Imperial College London and am currently working on a project to automatically detect racism in memes. I enjoy working with AI and use a lot of social media. I have been working in this area for just over 6 months and am coming towards the final stages of this project.
