detection. A session based on the results of the competition will be held at
the workshop on processing figurative language to be held @NAACL2018 on June 5
or 6, 2018, in New Orleans, LA. Papers describing the participating systems
will be published in the workshop's proceedings.


Call for Participation:

This is the first call for participation in a shared task on metaphor
detection held at the workshop on processing figurative language @NAACL2018.

Metaphor is a commonly used form of figurative language. Consider, for
example: ''In Washington, people change dance partners frequently, but not
the dance'' (metaphors are italicized). The goal is to classify all content
words in a text as being a metaphor or not, as well as a separate
classification task just for the verbs. 

For more details about participation and to register to the shared
task, please refer to:
