SemEval-2007 Task 10: English Lexical Substitution Task
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe the English Lexical Substitution task for SemEval. In the task, annotators and systems find an alternative substitute word or phrase for a target word in context. The task involves both finding the synonyms and disambiguating the context. Participating systems are free to use any lexical resource. There is a subtask which requires identifying cases where the word is functioning as part of a multiword in the sentence and detecting what that multiword is.

SemEval-2010 Task 2: Cross-Lingual Lexical Substitution
In this paper we describe the SemEval2010 Cross-Lingual Lexical Substitution task, where given an English target word in context, participating systems had to find an alternative substitute word or phrase in Spanish. The task is based on the English Lexical Substitution task run at SemEval-2007. In this paper we provide background and motivation for the task, we describe the data annotation pro...
متن کاملUSYD: WSD and Lexical Substitution using the Web1T corpus
This paper describes the University of Sydney’s WSD and Lexical Substitution systems for SemEval-2007. These systems are principally based on evaluating the substitutability of potential synonyms in the context of the target word. Substitutability is measured using Pointwise Mutual Information as obtained from the Web1T corpus. The WSD systems are supervised, while the Lexical Substitution syst...
متن کاملEvaluation Metrics for the Lexical Substitution Task
We identify some problems of the evaluation metrics used for the English Lexical Substitution Task of SemEval-2007, and propose alternative metrics that avoid these problems, which we hope will better guide the future development of lexical substitution systems.
متن کاملEvaluating Lexical Substitution: Analysis and New Measures
Lexical substitution is the task of finding a replacement for a target word in a sentence so as to preserve, as closely as possible, the meaning of the original sentence. It has been proposed that lexical substitution be used as a basis for assessing the performance of word sense disambiguation systems, an idea realised in the English Lexical Substitution Task of SemEval-2007. In this paper, we...
متن کاملTor, TorMd: Distributional Profiles of Concepts for Unsupervised Word Sense Disambiguation
Words in the context of a target word have long been used as features by supervised word-sense classifiers. Mohammad and Hirst (2006a) proposed a way to determine the strength of association between a sense or concept and co-occurring words—the distributional profile of a concept (DPC)—without the use of manually annotated data. We implemented an unsupervised naı̈ve Bayes word sense classifier u...
