Abstract

In this paper, we give the overview of the social media user modeling shared task in the NLPCC 2018. We first review the background of social media user modeling, and then describe two social media user modeling tasks in this year’s NLPCC, including the construction of the benchmark datasets and the evaluation metrics. The evaluation results of submissions from participating teams are presented in the experimental part.
