[CFP] HASOC-meme V2: Hate Speech and Offensive Content Identification in Memes in Tamil and Telugu at FIRE 2026
************************************************************************************
We are excited to announce the 8th edition of HASOC, featuring a range of engaging shared tasks. We warmly invite you to participate in this edition. This year, HASOC 2026 expands beyond the HASOC-Meme V2 challenge and introduces two exciting new tasks i.e., IMUSA and mReDDIT, that address emerging challenges in multilingual and multimodal harmful content analysis. HASOC-meme V2 will introduce classification tasks on memes, focusing on the identification of abuse, sentiment, sarcasm, vulgarity, and target. The task will primarily include three binary classification tasks, one multi-class classification task, and one multi-label classification task on memes in Tamil and Telugu languages.
