This paper describes the first task on semantic relation extraction and classification in scientific paper abstracts at SemEval 2018.The challenge focuses on domain-specific semantic relations and includes three different subtasks.The subtasks were designed so as to compare and quantify the effect of different pre-processing steps on the relation classification results.We expect the task to be relevant for a broad range of researchers working on extracting specialized knowledge from domain corpora, for example but not limited to scientific or bio-medical information extraction.The task attracted a total of 32 participants, with 158 submissions across different scenarios.
