Task #7: Coarse-grained English all-words (Coarse AW)

http://nlp.cs.swarthmore.edu/semeval/tasks/task07/description.shtml

Abstract

One of the major obstacles to effective WSD is the fine granularity of 
the adopted computational lexicon. Specifically, WordNet encodes sense 
distinctions which are too subtle even for human annotators (Edmonds and 
Kilgariff, 1998). The coarse-grained English all-words task for 
Semeval-2007 will use the same texts as Task # (the SemEval-2007 
All-words Task), but cluster WordNet senses using the Oxford Dictionary 
of English sense inventory. Participants will also be able to perform 
the task using the sense inventories of the Oxford Dictionary of English 
and the Macquarie Dictionary. The texts will be tagged by professional 
lexicographers. This task will enable a detailed analysis of the 
significance of the sense inventories in WSD.
