SemEval-2013 Task 10: Cross-lingual Word Sense Disambiguation

The goal of the Cross-lingual Word Sense Disambiguation task is to evaluate the viability of multilingual WSD on a benchmark lexical sample data set. The traditional WSD task is transformed into a multilingual WSD task, where participants are asked to provide contextually correct translations of English ambiguous nouns into five target languages, viz. French, Italian, English, German and Dutch. We report results for the 12 official submissions from 5 different research teams, as well as for the ParaSense system that was developed by the task organizers.
