Abstract

We present an overview of the second shared task on homophobia/transphobia Detection in social media comments. Given a comment, a system must predict whether or not it contains any form of homophobia/transphobia. The shared task included five languages: English, Spanish, Tamil, Hindi, and Malayalam. The data was given for two tasks. Task A was given three labels, and Task B fine-grained seven labels. In total, 75 teams enrolled for the shared task in Codalab. For Task A, 10 teams submitted systems for English, 7 for Tamil, 4 for Spanish, 7 for Malayalam, and seven teams for Hindi. For Task B, 8 teams were submitted for English, 7 for Tamil, and 6 for Malayalam. We present and analyze all submissions in this paper.
