<p dir="auto"><strong>Task description</strong></p>
<p dir="auto">This shared task is not just about the
detection of sexism/misogyny in comments posted in
(mostly) German language to the comment section of an
Austrian online newspaper:
many of the texts to be classified contain ambiguous
language, very subtle ways to express misogyny or sexism
or lack important context. For these reasons, there can
be
quite some disagreement between annotators on the
appropriate label. In many cases, there is no single
correct label. For this reason the shared task is not
just about
correctly predicting a single label chosen from all the
labels assigned by human annotators, but about models
which can predict the level of disagreement, the range
of labels assigned by annotators or the distribution of
labels to expect for a specific group of annotators.</p>
