Senseval-3: The Spanish lexical sample task

In this paper we describe the Spanish Lexical Sample task. This task was initially devised for evaluating the role of unlabeled examples in supervised and semi-supervised learning systems for WSD and it was coordinated with five other lexical sample tasks (Basque, Catalan, English, Italian, and Rumanian) in order to share part of the target words. Firstly, we describe the methodology followed to develop the linguistic resources necessary for the task: the MiniDir-2.1 lexicon and the MiniCors corpus. Secondly, we summarize the participant systems, the results obtained, and a comparative analysis. Participant systems include pure supervised, semi–supervised, and unsupervised learning.
