Title SENSEVAL: An Exercise in Evaluating Word Sense Disambiguation Programs
Abstract There are now many computer programs for automatically determining which sense a word is being used in. One would like to be able to say which were better, which worse, and also which words, or varieties of language, presented particular problems to which programs. In this paper I describe a pilot evaluation exercise ('SENSEVAL') taking place under the auspices of ACL SIGLEX (the Lexicons Special Interest Group of the Association for Computational Linguistics) and EURALEX in 1998. Finally I present three reasons why the exercise is of interest to lexicographers.
