First Call for Participation - EXIST 2024: sEXism Identification in
Social neTworks

Website: http://nlp.uned.es/exist2024/

EXIST is a series of scientific events and shared tasks on sEXism
Identification in Social neTworks (EXIST 2021, EXIST 2022, EXIST
2023). EXIST aims to capture sexism in a broad sense, from explicit
misogyny to other subtle expressions that involve implicit sexist
behaviors. The fourth edition of the EXIST shared task will be held as
a Lab in CLEF 2024, on September 9-12, 2024, at the University of
Grenoble Alpes, France.

Since 2021, the primary objective of EXIST campaigns has been the
identification of sexism in tweets. Three corpora of annotated tweets
have been collected for different EXIST tasks. Likewise, the focus of
EXIST 2024 is to detect sexism in text, using the EXIST 2023 dataset,
but we also extend the focus to memes. Memes are images, usually with
text captions, that typically carry humor and spread through social
media, forums, or other digital platforms. They can be used to spread
false information, perpetuate stereotypes or humiliate people.

As in the 2023 edition, this edition will also embrace the Learning
With Disagreements (LeWiDi) paradigm for both the development of the
dataset and the evaluation of the systems. The LeWiDi paradigm does
not rely on a single “correct” label for each example. Instead, the
model is trained to handle and learn from conflicting or diverse
annotations. This enables the system to consider various annotators’
perspectives, biases, or interpretations, resulting in a fairer
learning process.

Participants will be asked to classify tweets and memes (in English
and Spanish) according to  six tasks: Sexism Identification, Source
Intention and  Sexism Categorization in tweets, and Sexism
Identification, Source Intention and  Sexism Categorization in memes.

We encourage participation from both academic institutions and
industrial organizations. We invite the participants to register for
the lab at CLEF 2024 Labs Registration site
(https://clef2024-labs-registration.dei.unipd.it/). You will receive
information about how to join the Google Group for the EXIST 2024
shared task.
