SemSketches-2021: experimenting with the machine processing of the pilot semantic sketches corpus
This work addresses a domain-specific problem for researchers in natural language processing, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing sketch processing methods.
The paper tackled the challenge of machine processing semantic sketches by creating a pilot open corpus and organizing the SemSketches-2021 Shared Task, where participants assigned contexts to sketches, but no concrete results or numbers were reported.
The paper deals with elaborating different approaches to the machine processing of semantic sketches. It presents the pilot open corpus of semantic sketches. Different aspects of creating the sketches are discussed, as well as the tasks that the sketches can help to solve. Special attention is paid to the creation of the machine processing tools for the corpus. For this purpose, the SemSketches-2021 Shared Task was organized. The participants were given the anonymous sketches and a set of contexts containing the necessary predicates. During the Task, one had to assign the proper contexts to the corresponding sketches.
