VIDA: The Visual Incel Data Archive

VIDA is a multimodal dataset designed to facilitate research into visual communication used within online extremist communities. It comprises visual material and internet memes associated with misogynistic content collected from two main incel communities (Italian and Anglophone).

Dataset Description

  • Annotated according to a taxonomy for content, form, and stance (hate), providing fine-grained contextual information.
  • Focuses on recognizing implicit meanings and cultural references within visual communication.

Controlled Access

Due to the sensitive nature of the dataset, access to VIDA is controlled.

Usage

The VIDA dataset is intended for non-commercial research purposes only. It is designed to help researchers advance the understanding of extremist content and potentially improve the ability of machine learning systems to identify such content.
