Zampieri, Marcos, Malmasi, Shervin, Nakov, Preslav et al.

Understand

We present the results and the main findings of SemEval-2019 Task 6 on Identifying and Categorizing Offensive Language in Social Media (OffensEval).

The task was based on a new dataset, the Offensive Language Identification Dataset (OLID), which contains over 14,000 English tweets.
It featured three sub-tasks.
In sub-task A, the goal was to discriminate between offensive and non-offensive posts.
