Welcome to SemEval 2023 Task 10: Explainable Detection of Online Sexism (EDOS)

* Task Description *

This task supports the development of English-language models for sexism detection that are more accurate as well as explainable, with fine-grained classifications for sexist content from Gab and Reddit. The task contains three hierarchical subtasks:

TASK A - Binary Sexism Detection: a two-class (or binary) classification where systems have to predict whether a post is sexist or not sexist.

TASK B - Category of Sexism: for posts which are sexist, a four-class classification where systems have to predict one of four categories: (1) threats, (2) derogation, (3) animosity, (4) prejudiced discussions.

TASK C - Fine-grained Vector of Sexism: for posts which are sexist, an 11-class classification where systems have to predict one of 11 fine-grained vectors.
