What if we could use rules, tests, and parameters to isolate hate speech? Can we identify and analyze elements like speaker intent, context, identity, tone, audience, or any number of indicators that transform words into meanings and change an innocuous statement into a verbal assault? Combating the proliferation of online hate speech and understanding its mechanics is a complex undertaking. We believe, however, that it can be done. And one way we are working to do so is by teaching machines to recognize hate.

Mannahatta: The Game is a location-based game for the iPhone that maps Manhattan's historical ecosystem onto its modern day streets. Players move from block to block and gain points when they make connections between the ecological elements that used to exist in the exact same location in 1609, when Henry Hudson first set foot on the island. Working individually or as part of a team, a player must cover a wide physical territory across the city to collect points, earn badges and move to the top of the leader board.
