Abstract:ArGuard is a shared task on harmful content detection in Arabic memes and LLM prompts. It includes two tracks: Track A focuses on multimodal hate detection in Arabic memes, while Track B addresses harmful prompt detection for Arabic LLM safety evaluation. In total, 58 teams registered, 35 participated in the final evaluation, and 27 submitted system-description papers. Participating teams explored models such as AraBERT, Jais, and Qwen3-VL. The best systems achieved macro-F1 scores of 0.823 on A1, 0.419 on A2, 0.984 on B1, and 0.790 on B2. Fine-grained meme classification in A2 was the most challenging setting, partly due to sparse labels and train-test distribution shifts.
