背景

There has been a growing interest in sentiment analysis which applies to many domains, including public health, commerce/business, art and literature, and so on.

However, none of these tasks included African languages. Though Mohammad, Saif, et al. (2018) included standard Arabic, we focus on Arabic dialects from African countries: Algerian Arabic and Tunisian Arabizi. We believe SemEval is the right venue, due to its popularity and widespread acceptance, to carry out shared tasks for African languages to strengthen their further development.

Part3奖励机制

The afriSenti-SemEval competition has a prize and will be awarded to the best performing team in each of the three sub-tasks. We also have three leagues for the award:

• African League: To encourage African participation, this league is for teams with at least one African.

• Masters and Undergraduate League: This league is dedicated to masters and undergraduate students only (updated).

• Worldwide League: Be a participant from any country.

The prize ($500) will be awarded to the best system from each league. For example, for sub-task A, three awards will be given from the three leagues. So, 9 prizes will be awarded to the total number of winners since we have 3 sub-tasks. We also have best paper award.
