DA-VINCIS at IberLEF 2022: Detection of Aggressive and Violent Incidents from Social Media in Spanish

The competition focuses on the detection of violent incidents on Twitter. It challenges participants to develop methods able to classify tweets as reporting a violent event or not. For this first edition, the shared task will target Spanish. This is motivated by the lack of resources in Spanish for approaching the task. We are releasing a novel corpus carefully labeled according to violent event categories. The shared task will feature two tracks: (1) violent event identification and (2) violent event category recognition, see below.
