We put forward this task as a complementary benchmark for modeling hypernymy, a problem which has traditionally been cast as a binary classification task, taking a pair of candidate words as input. Instead, our reformulated task is defined as follows: given an input term, retrieve (or discover) its suitable hypernyms from a target corpus. We proposed five different subtasks covering three languages (English, Spanish, and Italian), and two specific domains of knowledge in English (Medical and Music). Participants were allowed to compete in any or all of the subtasks. Overall, a total of 11 teams participated, with a total of 39 different systems submitted through all subtasks. Data, results and further information about the task can be found at \\url{https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/17119}.","url_abs":"https://aclanthology.org/S18-1115","url_pdf":"https://aclanthology.org/S18-1115.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"binary-classification","task_name":"Binary Classification"},{"task_slug":"hypernym-discovery","task_name":"Hypernym Discovery"},{"task_slug":"natural-language-inference","task_name":"Natural Language Inference"},{"task_slug":"question-answering","task_name":"Question Answering"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[{"slug":"semeval-2018-task-9-hypernym-discovery","name":"SemEval-2018 Task-9","full_name":""}],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
