English Senseval: Report and Results
Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2000)
Abstract
There are now many computer programs for automatically determining which sense a word is being used in. One would like to be able to say which were better, which worse, and also which words, or varieties of language, presented particular problems to which programs. In 1998 a first evaluation exercise, SENSEVAL, took place. The English component of the exercise is described, and results presented.
