We invite you to take part in the following shared tasks:

1. Authorship Verification

Given two documents, determine if they are written by the same author.

2. Celebrity Profiling

Given the Twitter feeds of the followers, determine the occupation, age, and gender of a celebrity.

3. Profiling Fake News Spreaders on Twitter

Given a Twitter feed, determine whether its author is keen to be a spreader of fake news.

4. Style Change Detection

Given a document, determine how many authors have collaborated.
