We present SemEval-2019 Task 8 on Fact Checking in Community Question Answering Forums, which features two subtasks.Subtask A is about deciding whether a question asks for factual information vs. an opinion/advice vs. just socializing.Subtask B asks to predict whether an answer to a factual question is true, false or not a proper answer.We received 17 official submissions for subtask A and 11 official submissions for Subtask B. For subtask A, all systems improved over the majority class baseline.For Subtask B, all systems were below a majority class baseline, but several systems were very close to it.The leaderboard and the data from the competition can be found at http://competitions. codalab.org/competitions/20022.
