This paper presents the Know-Center system submitted for task 5 of the SemEval-2019workshop. Given a Twitter message in either English or Spanish, the task is to first detect whether it contains hateful speech and second,to determine the target and level of aggression used. For this purpose our system utilizes word embeddings and a neural network architecture, consisting of both dilated and traditional convolution layers. We achieved aver-age F1-scores of 0.57 and 0.74 for English and Spanish respectively.
