SemEval-2010 Task 8: Multi-Way Classification of Semantic Relations Between Pairs of Nominals
This provides a benchmark for computational semantic analysis research, though it is incremental as it builds on existing interest in the field.
The paper introduced a new SemEval-2010 task for multi-way classification of semantic relations between nominal pairs, aiming to compare approaches and establish a standard testbed, with results from 28 systems by 10 teams.
In response to the continuing research interest in computational semantic analysis, we have proposed a new task for SemEval-2010: multi-way classification of mutually exclusive semantic relations between pairs of nominals. The task is designed to compare different approaches to the problem and to provide a standard testbed for future research. In this paper, we define the task, describe the creation of the datasets, and discuss the results of the participating 28 systems submitted by 10 teams.
