The dataset was provided by Pei and Jurgens (2020), who are part of the task organizers, for this task consists of tweets in various languages, such as Chinese, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Span- ish. The testing dataset also had unseen lan- guages such as Hindi, Arabic, Dutch and Ko- rean. The tweets may or may not be related to intimacy. The task provided was to score the in- timacy in tweets and place it in the range of 0–5 based on the level of intimacy in the tweet using the dataset provided which consisted of tweets along with its scores. The intimacy score is used to indicate whether a tweet is intimate or not. Our team participated in the task and pro- posed the ROBERTa model , Liu et al. (2019) to analyse the intimacy of the tweets. 1 Introduction Intimacy is the feeling that makes people feel close to each other.
