Abstract
We present the comprehensive technical description of the outcome of the BLP shared task on Violence Inciting Text Detection (VITD).In recent years, social media has become a tool for groups of various religions and backgrounds to spread hatred, leading to physicalviolence with devastating consequences. To address this challenge, the VITD shared task was initiated, aiming to classify the level of violence incitement in various texts. The competition garnered significant interest with a total of 27 teams consisting of 88 participants successfully submitting their systems to the CodaLab leaderboard. During the post-workshop phase, we received 16 system papers on VITD from those participants. In this paper, we intend to discuss the VITD baseline performance, error analysis of the submitted models, and provide a comprehensive summary of the computational techniques applied by the participating teams
