Call for Participation SemEval 2019 Task 6 - OffensEval: Identifying and Categorizing Offensive Language in Social Media Shared Task Website: https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/20011
Offensive language is pervasive in social media. Online communities, social media platforms, and technology companies have been investing heavily in ways to cope with offensive language to prevent abusive behavior in social media. One of the most effective strategies for tackling this problem is to use computational methods to identify offense, aggression, and hate speech in user-generated content (e.g. posts, comments, microblogs, etc.). In OffensEval we provide participants with a dataset containing posts from social media. The trial dataset is available. Sub-tasks In OffensEval we break down offensive content into three sub-tasks taking the type and target of offenses into account: Sub-task A - Offensive language identification; Sub-task B - Automatic categorization of offense types; Sub-task C - Offense target identification.
