As the number of people and this interaction over the web has increased,

Theories and models of aggression and conflict in language.
Typology of verbal aggression and related phenomenon.
Discursive studies of verbal aggression, impoliteness and related phenomena
in language.
Trolling, hate speech, cyberbullying and aggression on the web.
Abusive language and aggression on the web.
Multilingualism and aggression.
Resource Development - Speech and Text Corpora, Annotation Guidelines and
Best Practices for aggression detection
Computational Models and Methods for aggression detection in text and
speech.
Automatic detection of aggression on the web (both text and speech).
Automatic detection of trolling and cyberbullying on the web (both text and
speech).
Automatic detection of physical threat on the web (both text and speech).
Automatic detection of hate speech on the web (both text and speech).

*Task Description *
=
The task is to develop low-level NLP tools for Magahi and Bhojpuri. Both
Magahi and Bhojpuri are Eastern Indo-Aryan languages spoken largely in the
Eastern states of Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh in India. These
languages are part of what is considered a dialect continuum running the
Eastern part of India to its Weatern part and consisting of approximately
50 languages / varieties. Hindi, the official language of India, is part of
the same continuum and as such these are closely related to each other.
However, despite this similarity, these languages have large divergences in
terms of lexicon as well as morphological make-up. As such most of the
tools developed for Hindi do not perform very well with the other
languages. For this task, we are providing small annotated datasets for
Magahi and Bhojpuri in order to develop part-of-speech tagger and
morphological analyser for these languages. The dataset is annotated with
the part of speech categories and morphological features from Universal
Dependencies tagset.

*Sub tasks *
===
The task 9 and 10 has 2 sub-tasks -
A. POS tagger for each language
b. Number, Gender, Person, Tense, Aspect, Honorificity and Case relation
analyser for each language

*Data *
==
We will provide 5,000 annotated sentences (in CONLL-U format) for each of
the 2 languages. In addition to this, participants are also encouraged to
use the Hindi dataset available with Universal Dependencies project.
Additionally they are free to use any other dataset as long as the dataset
is freely available for research.

*Evaluation Procedure*
===
The standard evaluation metrics for evaluating and ranking the teams will
be macro-averaged F1 scores.

*Baseline *
=
The simple probabilistic baseline (the most frequent tags get assigned to
each token) will be provided by the organisers.

*Important Dates *

Training dataset will be made available by *15th April, 2019*. Other
deadlines are as per the workshop schedule.


*Results *
=
Results will be made available as per the workshop schedule

*Paper submission*
==
Paper submission instructions will be same as for the workshop

*Task Organizers *

organizers:

* Second Workshop on Trolling, Aggression and Cyberbullying (TRAC – 2) *

*Call for Papers*

As the number of people and their interaction over the web has increased,
incidents of aggression and related activities like trolling,
cyberbullying, flaming, abusive, offensive and hate speech, have also
increased manifold globally. The reach and extent of Internet has given
such incidents unprecedented power and influence to affect the lives of
billions of people. It has been reported that such incidents of online
abuse have not only created mental and psychological health issues for
users, but they have impacted our lives in many other ways, spanning from
deactivating accounts to instances of self-harm and suicide. NLP and
related methods have shown great promise in dealing with such abusive
behavior through early detection of inflammatory content.

This workshop focuses on the applications of NLP and Machine Learning to
tackle these issues.

We invite original, unpublished research papers as well as demos around the
following themes and areas of research:

   -

   Theories and models of aggression and conflict in language.
   -

   Trolling, hate speech, cyberbullying and aggression on the web.
   -

   Multilingualism and aggression.
   -

   Resource Development - Corpora, Annotation Guidelines and Best Practices
   for aggression, trolling and cyberbullying detection
   -

   Computational Models and Methods for aggression, cyberbullying, hate
   speech and offensive language detection in text and speech.
   -

   Automatic detection of physical threats on the web.
   -

   Censorship, moderation and content governance on the web: ethical, legal
   and technological issues and challenges.

The LRE 2020 Map and the "Share your LRs!" initiative

When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to
provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also
technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the
work described in the paper or are a new result of your research.

Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC authors to share the described LRs
(data, tools, services, etc.) to enable their reuse and replicability of
experiments (including evaluation ones).

*Shared Tasks*

The workshop includes two shared tasks as detailed below -

*Sub-task A: Aggression Identification Shared Task*. The task will be to
develop a classifier that could make a 3-way classification in between
‘Overtly Aggressive’, ‘Covertly Aggressive’ and ‘Non-aggressive’ text data.
We are making available a dataset of 5,000 aggression-annotated data from
social media each in Bangla (in both Roman and Bangla script), Hindi (in
both Roman and Devanagari script) and English for training and validation.
We will release additional data for testing your system. The train and test
sets for the tasks are different from the ones made available during TRAC -
1.

*Sub-task B: Misogynistic Aggression Identification Shared Task*: This task
will be to develop a binary classifier for classifying the text as
‘gendered’ or ‘non-gendered’. We will provide a dataset of 5,000 annotated
data from social media each in Bangla (in both Roman and Bangla script),
Hindi (in both Roman and Devanagari script) and English for training and
validation. We will release additional data for testing your system.

Please click here to register

for
the shared tasks and get the dataset.



*Submission*


The papers might be submitted for one of the following categories -

   -

   Long Paper (completed work - 4-8 pages, excluding references)
   -

   Short Paper (work in progress - upto 4 pages, excluding references)
   -

   Demo of a working system/library / API (described in maximum 2 pages,
   with a link to the actual system, if available) - we strongly prefer
   open-source and free systems for demo at the workshop.

   Both long and short papers may be presented using PowerPoint or Poster,
   depending on the medium that is considered most appropriate for the paper
   by the Program Committee. Please note the workshop does not make any
   hierarchical distinction between papers and posters and

*SHARED TASKS*

We are happy to announce the introduction of new shared tasks focused on
the building of MT systems for COVID-related texts. The task aims to
encourage research on MT systems involving three low-resource language
pairs:

(1) Taiwanese Sign Language <> Traditional Chinese (100,000+ pairs)
(2) English <> Irish
(3) English <> Marathi

The training, development, and test sets for the three groups will be
released shortly (please see the important dates). Updated information will
be available on the LoResMT website (https://sites.google.com/view/loresmt/)
and in the Google Group (https://groups.google.com/g/loresmt2021/).
