This shared task deals with the classification of German tweets from Twitter. Two subtasks were continued from the first edition, namely a coarse-grained binary classification task and a fine-grained multi-class classification task. As a novel subtask, we introduce the classification of offensive tweets as explicit or implicit. The shared task had 13 participating groups submitting 28 runs for the coarse-grained task, another 28 runs for the fine-grained task, and 17 runs for the implicit-explicit task. We evaluate the results of the systems submitted to the shared task.
