SemEval-2010 Word Sense Induction & Disambiguation Task

Word Sense Induction (WSI) is defined as the process of identifying the different senses (or uses) of a target word in a given text in an automatic and fully-unsupervised manner.

The goal of this task is to allow comparison of unsupervised sense induction and disambiguation systems. A secondary outcome of this task will be to provide a comparison with current supervised and knowledge-based methods for sense induction and sense disambiguation.
