### 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](https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.13592) for full details.
### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
* [OffensEval 2020](https://sites.google.com/site/offensevalsharedtask/results-and-paper-submission)
### Languages
Albanian (`bcp47:sq-AL`)
## Dataset Structure
There are five named configs, one per language:
* `ar` Arabic
* `da` Danish
* `en` English
* `gr` Greek
* `tr` Turkish
The training data for English is absent - this is 9M tweets that need to be rehydrated on their own. See [https://zenodo.org/record/3950379#.XxZ-aFVKipp](https://zenodo.org/record/3950379#.XxZ-aFVKipp)
### Data Instances
An example of 'train' looks as follows.
```
{
'id': '0',
'text': 'PLACEHOLDER TEXT',
'subtask_a': 1,
}
```
### Data Fields
- `id`: a `string` feature.
- `text`: a `string`.
- `subtask_a`: whether or not the instance is offensive; `0: NOT, 1: OFF`
### Data Splits
| name |train|test|

## 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.
### Discussion of Biases
### Other Known Limitations
## Additional Information
### Dataset Curators
The datasets is curated by each sub-part's paper authors.

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.",
