SENSEVAL: An Exercise in Evaluating Word Sense Disambiguation Programs
Adam Kilgarriff · 1998
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 this paper I describe a pilot evaluation exercise (`SENSEVAL') taking place under the auspices of ACL SIGLEX (the Lexicons Special Interest Group of the Association for Computational Linguistics) and EURALEX (European Association for Lexicography), ELSNET, and EU Projects SPARKLE and ECRAN, in 1998.
