Hi,

I’d like to know if the PAN organization will inform the competition results before the   Participant paper submission on May 28, 2021.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Angel

This is the plan...but you never know in this unpredictable time:
maybe because of a meteorite in between the two dates or a visit
back from Mars...

Stay tuned!

Paolo

Due to its diffusion in social media, it is important to detect Hate
Speech and fight against problems such as misogyny and xenophobia. At
PAN 2021 we aim at identifying possible hate speech spreaders on
Twitter as a first step towards preventing hate speech from being
propagated online:

https://pan.webis.de/clef21/pan21-web/author-profiling.html

We propose the task both in English and in Spanish. Although we
recommend to participate in both languages, it is possible to address
the problem just for one language.

The training dataset (where the authors have been anonymised and
neutral labels have been used) can be requested via Zenodo:

https://zenodo.org/record/4603578#.YE_k1J1KjIU

Important dates:
March 31, 2021: Early bird software submission phase (optional)
April 28, 2021: Software submission phase
May 28, 2021: Participant working notes submission (optional)
June 11, 2021: Peer review notification
July 2, 2021: Camera-ready participant papers submission
September 21-24, 2021: CLEF conference

Hi everybody

We were a bit late with uploading the test set and also with giving
access to the VMs on the
TIRA platform, therefore it makes sense not to be strict with deadlines.

If someone of you still wants to have an early bird try, it's still possible.
Otherwise, we hope to have all of you on board for the submission of
your final run at the end
of the month.

Regards and good luck!

Paolo & rest of HATERS (organisers of the shared task on Profiling HATERS...)

Dear participants of the Profiling haters shared task,

Due to the TIRA outages continue, if you want you are allowed to submit your
early-bird and/or final submissions directly by email.

Please do it sending an email to Francisco Manuel Rangel Pardo
<kico....@gmail.com>
with me on Cc if you want.

Best regards

Paolo

Hello, 
My question is: do I have to send an email with my code attached as well as the  requeriments.txt or do you provide the test data without the truth.txt file and I submit the prediction files?

Best regards

Dear participants,

Things seem to have improved but due to partial power outage last week
in one of the the server rooms, the TIRA platform seem still not fully
operational, and our colleagues in Germany cannot provide new virtual
machines at the moment.

Although as soon as the power malfunction is fixed they will do their
best to provide all requested machines, we know that many of you have
to submit your run in the next week or maximum two (some of you as a
project or part of your work for your MSc and PhD).

Therefore, as I already mentioned in a previous email last week, in
the Profiling HATERS shared task, we decided to offer you the possibility
to ask directly for the test dataset to Kico Rangel (on Cc) and to
send him the final results.

The last thing we would like you is to cause you any problems with the
work you have to do in the framework of your project / MSc/ PhD or
simply getting frustrated and decide to quit.

Have a nice weekend

Paolo

Dear participants,

We finally finished the reproducibility test of the systems that were not
evaluated via TIRA.

You can find the final ranking of the shared task here:

Dear PAN participants and colleagues,

The Multimedia Automatic Misogyny Identification (MAMI) task at
SemEval-2022 consists in the identification of misogynous memes,
taking advantage of both text and images available as source of
information. The task will be organized around two main sub-tasks:

- Sub-task A: a basic task about misogynous meme identification, where
a meme should be categorized either as misogynous or not misogynous;

-Sub-task B: an advanced task, where the type of misogyny should be
recognized among potential overlapping categories such as stereotype,
shaming, objectification and violence.

We inform colleagues and students that the training dataset is now available.

The next important dates are:

Evaluation data ready: December 3, 2021
Evaluation start: January 10, 2022
Evaluation end: by January 31, 2022

More information can be found here:

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Dear colleagues,

The training dataset of the author profiling shared task we organise
this year at the PAN Lab on Profiling Irony and Stereotype Spreaders
on Twitter can be requested via Zenodo:
https://zenodo.org/record/6397037#.YkbSnShBzIU

The shared task of this year will focus on profiling ironic authors in
Twitter (in English). Special emphasis will be given to those authors
that employ irony to spread stereotypes, for instance, towards women,
the LGTB community or immigrants. Given a Twitter feed in English, the
goal will be to determine whether or not its author has employed irony
(maybe conveyed via the usage of stereotypes).

Software submission deadline: May 24

More information on the IROSTEREO shared task:
