Abstract
Political multiclass detection is the task of identifying the predefined seven political classes. In this paper, we report an overview of the findings on the “Political Multiclass Sentiment Analysis of Tamil X(Twitter) Comments” shared task conducted at the workshop on DravidianLangTech@NAACL 2025. The participants were provided with annotated Twitter comments, which are split into training, development, and unlabelled test datasets. A total of 139 participants registered for this shared task, and 25 teams finally submitted their results. The performance of the submitted systems was evaluated and ranked in terms of the macro-F1 score.- Anthology ID:
