The CoNLL-2008 shared task on joint parsing of syntactic and semantic dependencies

Surdeanu, Mihai ; Johansson, Richard LU ; Meyers, Adam ; Màrquez, Lluís and Nivre, Joakim (2008) Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL) p.159-177
Abstract
The Conference on Computational Natural

Language Learning is accompanied every

year by a shared task whose purpose

is to promote natural language processing

applications and evaluate them in a standard

setting. In 2008 the shared task was

dedicated to the joint parsing of syntactic

and semantic dependencies. This shared

task not only unifies the shared tasks of

the previous four years under a unique

dependency-based formalism, but also extends

them significantly: this year’s syntactic

dependencies include more information

such as named-entity boundaries; the

semantic dependencies model roles of both

semantic dependencies model roles of both

verbal and nominal predicates. In this paper,

we define the shared task and describe

how the data sets were created. Furthermore,

we report and analyze the results and

describe the approaches of the participating

systems. (Less)
