ABSTRACT
The "Affective Text" task focuses on the classification of emotions and valence (positive/negative polarity) in news headlines, and is meant as an exploration of the connection between emotions and lexical semantics. In this paper, we describe the data set used in the evaluation and the results obtained by the participating systems.

SemEval-2010 task 3: cross-lingual word sense disambiguation
SEW '09: Proceedings of the Workshop on Semantic Evaluations: Recent Achievements and Future DirectionsWe propose a multilingual unsupervised Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) task for a sample of English nouns. Instead of providing manually sensetagged examples for each sense of a polysemous noun, our sense inventory is built up on the basis of the ...
SemEval-2007 task 10: English lexical substitution task
SemEval '07: Proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Semantic EvaluationsIn this paper we describe the English Lexical Substitution task for SemEval. In the task, annotators and systems find an alternative substitute word or phrase for a target word in context. The task involves both finding the synonyms and disambiguating ...
SemEval-2007 task 06: word-sense disambiguation of prepositions
SemEval '07: Proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Semantic EvaluationsThe SemEval-2007 task to disambiguate prepositions was designed as a lexical sample task. A set of over 25,000 instances was developed, covering 34 of the most frequent English prepositions, with two-thirds of the instances for training and one-third as ...
