SIGLEX Report Adam Kilgarriff SENSEVAL ======== The second SENSEVAL - WSD evaluation exercise - is currently underway, and culminates with a two-day workshop in Toulouse, 5-6 July. (Particular thanks to Patrick St Dizier for his help with local arrangments). Like the first SENSEVAL, this proceeds under an ACL-SIGLEX banner, while receiving support, either in name, financial, or both, from a number of other sources: EURALEX, ELSNET, Pearson Education, ELRA, UK EPSRC and other national Governments. This time we had tasks for 13 languages, which involved co-ordinating 13 task-organising groups. (This role was taken by Phil Edmonds, at Sharp, and Scott Cotton, managing data uploads/downloads, at UPenn.) There are around sixty participating WSD systems, and around 90 people registered for the workshop. As last time the exercise has generated a high level of interest and excitement. NAACL workshop ============== The NAACL workshop on WordNet and Other Lexical Resources: Applications, Extensions and Customizations was organised with a modest level of SIGLEX involvement. (It isn't clear whether this is properly classified as a SIGLEX event.) Future events ============= SIGLEX is involved in a first Global WordNet Association conference, being planned for Mysore, India, January 2002. There is also a joint meeting with SIGSEM planned for January 2003. Other activity ============== In the short year since last ACL, when the current officials were elected, SENSEVAL has been a major activity for SIGLEX, leaving little time for anything else. The senseval-discuss list has taken a role that might otherwise have been taken by a separate SIGLEX list. The domain name siglex.org has recently been acquired and the SIGLEX site will be moved to it and further developed over the coming months.
