🌈 The HODI Shared Task 🌈
-----------------------------------------------------
We invite participants to participate in the first shared task of homotransphobia detection in Italian (HODI). Despite the NLP community’s interest in hate speech detection datasets and models, very few studies covered homotransphobia. This is a concern, due to the target-oriented nature of hate speech: recent studies have revealed that hate speech detection methods cannot be used to multiple sorts of hate speech targets.
HODI is organized according to two main subtasks:
** Subtask A - Homotransphobia detection:** the objective is to detect if a text is homotransphobic or not.
** Subtask B - Explainability:** the objective is to extract the rationales of the classification models trained for Subtask A.
Further details on the task, data, and evaluation are available at the task
