AcCompl-it @ EVALITA2020: Overview of the acceptability & complexity evaluation task for Italian

The Acceptability and Complexity evaluation task for Italian (AcCompl-it) was aimed at developing and evaluating methods to classify Italian sentences according to Acceptability and Complexity. It consists of two independent tasks asking participants to predict either the acceptability or the complexity rate (or both) of a given set of sentences previously scored by native speakers on a 1-to-7 points Likert scale. In this paper, we introduce the datasets distributed to the participants, we describe the different approaches of the participating systems and provide a first analysis of the obtained results.
