Final Call for Participation:

CogALex-V Shared Task on the Corpus-Based Identification of Semantic Relations
Submission deadline: 16 October 2016, 23:59 GMT

The organizers of the COLING 2016 Workshop CogALex-V are pleased to announce a
Shared Task on the Corpus-Based Identification of Semantic Relations. 
Semantic relations play an important role in Natural Language Processing (NLP)
and in human lexical retrieval. Corpus-based approaches to semantic relation
identification do not only help to perform NLP tasks, but they can also shed
light on the organization of the mental lexicon.

The shared task takes the form of a “friendly competition” in which
participants evaluate their own models. It is divided into two subtasks aimed
at identifying whether two words are semantically related and which particular
relation holds between them, respectively.  A dataset extracted from EVALution
1.0 (Santus et al. 2015) is provided for training and testing of the models. 
Short papers describing systems and evaluation results must be submitted by 15
October 2016 together with the system output.  All papers that meet the formal
review criteria will be published in the workshop proceedings.  Teams are
still welcome to participate in the Shared Task even if they have not
registered yet – please send an expression of interest by e-mail to
esantus at gmail.com in this case.
