The EmotionGIF Challenge
With the proliferation of animated GIFs in social networks, their importance as a way to express affective states, including emotions, is growing. Given their expressiveness, GIFs offer a more nuanced and precise way to convey emotions.

This year we present a novel challenge EmotionGIF. Our dataset contain 40,000 tweets and their GIF responses, labeled with the categories of the animated GIFs. The challenge: given unlabeled tweets, predict the category(ies) of a GIF response.
