SemEval-2016 Task 10: Detecting Minimal Semantic Units and their Meanings (DiMSUM)

Abstract

This task combines the labeling of multiword expressions and supersenses (coarse-grained classes) in an explicit, yet broad-coverage paradigm for lexical semantics. Nine systems participated; the best scored 57.7% F 1 in a multi-domain evaluation setting, indicating that the task remains largely unresolved. An error analysis reveals that a large number of instances in the data set are either hard cases, which no systems get right, or easy cases, which all systems correctly solve.
