With the proliferation of animated GIFs in social networks, their importance as a way to express affective states, including emotions, is growing. Given their expressiveness, GIFs offer a more nuanced and precise way to convey emotions.

In this year's EmotionX challenge we present a novel challenge EmotionGIF. Our dataset contains around 40,000 tweets and their GIF responses, labeled with the categories of the animated GIFs provided with the corresponding GIF files. Given unlabeled tweets, the challenge is to predict the category of a GIF response.
