Task #6: Word-Sense Disambiguation of Prepositions

http://nlp.cs.swarthmore.edu/semeval/tasks/task06/description.shtml

Abstract

A major research topic in computational linguistics is semantic role 
labeling. Prepositions are important mediators of semantic roles, 
particularly oblique arguments and adjuncts. As part of The Preposition 
Project, preposition instances from FrameNet have been tagged with 
senses from the Oxford Dictionary of English. All major English 
prepositions are included, with the number of instances ranging from 100 
to over 4000 for the preposition "of". Additional data on each instance 
(e.g., FrameNet frame element) has been generated and is available for 
use in this disambiguation task. Since prepositions are a closed class, 
this SemEval task has the potential for creating fundamental 
characterizations of their behavior.
