A system and method are provided for generating a trained model to filter data sets for filtering hate speech. The method includes obtaining an unfiltered corpus of data, obtaining a set of trigger phrases, and using the set of trigger phrases to generate a trained model which comprises at least one conditional likelihood of the trigger phrases conditioned on documents in the corpus of data. A system and method are also provided for filtering data sets for hate speech using pre-trained models. The method includes obtaining a pretrained model generated using a set of trigger phrases and which comprises at least one conditional likelihood of the trigger phrases conditioned on document in a corpus of data used to generate the pretrained model; using the pretrained model to filter an unfiltered dataset and generate a filtered dataset; and outputting the filtered dataset.
