CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Shared Task on Distributional Semantics and Compositionality (@DiSCo'2011) 

http://disco2011.fzi.de/#SharedTask


** TEST DATA AVAILABLE NOW at http://disco2011.fzi.de/

== THE TASK ==

The organizers extracted candidate phrases from two large-scale freely available web-corpora, UkWaC and DeWaC (cf. http://wacky.sslmit.unibo.it/), containing respectively English and German POS tagged text. These data have been manually evaluated for compositionality with Amazon Turk. Workers were presented a sentence with a bolded target phrase and were asked to score how literal the phrase was between 0 and 10. 4-5 different, randomly sampled sentences from the WaCKy corpora for UK English and German were presented to 4 workers each. 

Phrases consist of two lemmas and come in three grammatical relations: 

ADJ_NN: adjective modifying a noun 

V_SUBJ: noun as a subject of a verb 

V_OBJ: noun as an object of a verb 


Phrases were extracted semi-automatically. The relations were assigned by patterns and manually checked for validity. 

* Please note, we've updated the training data so that the phrases like "EN_V_SUBJ  name come" are avoided.
