Dataset Summary

This is an abusive/offensive language detection dataset for Albanian. The data is formatted following the OffensEval convention, with three tasks:

Subtask A: Offensive (OFF) or not (NOT)
Subtask B: Untargeted (UNT) or targeted insult (TIN)
Subtask C: Type of target: individual (IND), group (GRP), or other (OTH)

Notes on the above:

The subtask A field should always be filled.
The subtask B field should only be filled if there's "offensive" (OFF) in A.
The subtask C field should only be filled if there's "targeted" (TIN) in B.

The dataset name is a backronym, also standing for "Spoken Hate in the Albanian Jargon"

See the paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.13592 for full details.

Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale

Collecting data for abusive language classification. Different rational for each dataset.

Source Data

Initial Data Collection and Normalization

Varies per language dataset

Who are the source language producers?

Social media users

Annotations

Annotation process

Varies per language dataset

Who are the annotators?

Varies per language dataset; native speakers

Personal and Sensitive Information

The data was public at the time of collection. No PII removal has been performed.

Considerations for Using the Data

Social Impact of Dataset

The data definitely contains abusive language. The data could be used to develop and propagate offensive language against every target group involved, i.e. ableism, racism, sexism, ageism, and so on.

The task included three subtasks corresponding to the hierarchical taxonomy of the OLID schema from OffensEval-2019, and it was offered in five languages: Arabic, Danish, English, Greek, and Turkish. OffensEval-2020 was one of the most popular tasks at SemEval-2020, attracting a large number of participants across all subtasks and languages: a total of 528 teams signed up to participate in the task, 145 teams submitted official runs on the test data, and 70 teams submitted system description papers.",
