Task description

This shared task is not just about the detection of sexism/misogyny in 
comments posted in (mostly) German language to the comment section of an 
Austrian online newspaper: many of the texts to be classified contain 
ambiguous language, very subtle ways to express misogyny or sexism or 
lack important context. For these reasons, there can be quite some 
disagreement between annotators on the appropriate label. In many cases, 
there is no single correct label. For this reason the shared task is not 
just about correctly predicting a single label chosen from all the 
labels assigned by human annotators, but about models which can predict 
the level of disagreement, the range of labels assigned by annotators or 
the distribution of labels to expect for a specific group of annotators.
