Silent Signals | Formal Potential Dogwhistles (Potential Instance Dataset)
A dataset of potential dogwhistle use cases in formal discourse. A dogwhistle is a form of coded communication that carries a secondary meaning to specific audiences and is often weaponized for racial and socioeconomic discrimination. Dog whistling historically originated from United States politics, but in recent years has taken root in social media as a means of evading hate speech detection systems and maintaining plausible deniability.
This dataset contains over 1 million excepts from U.S. Congressional Records that contain a dogwhistle term, created via keyword search on terms in the Allen AI Dogwhistle Glossary. Therefore, many of the excerpts are likely using these terms in a non-coded sense. This dataset was used as input to our approach for word-sense disambiguation of dogwhistles from standard speech using Large Language Models (LLMs). Please see the paper linked below for more details.
Although we collect over 7 million potential dogwhistle instances, due to resource constraints, we only sample 100,000 instances for the creation of the Silent Signals dataset. Therefore, we release the Potential Dogwhistle Dataset to enable the open sourced expansion of the Silent Signals dataset.
Please note, this dataset contains content that may be upsetting or offensive to some readers.

In this paper, we present an approach for word-sense disambiguation of dog whistles from standard speech using Large Language Models (LLMs), and leverage this technique to create a dataset of 16,550 high-confidence coded examples of dog whistles used in formal and informal communication. Silent Signals is the largest dataset of disambiguated dog whistle usage, created for applications in hate speech detection, neology, and political science.",
