    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.
