=====================================================================

Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) measures the degree of equivalence in the underlying semantics of paired snippets of text. While making such an assessment is trivial for humans, constructing algorithms and computational models that mimic human level performance represents a difficult and deep natural language understanding problem. The 2017 STS shared task involves multilingual and cross-lingual evaluation of Arabic, Spanish and English data as well as a surprise language track to explore methods for cross-lingual transfer.

Professors Martha Palmer, Jim Martin, and Jordan Boyd-Graber from the University of Colorado are inviting applications for a post-doctoral fellow in the field of computational semantics, beginning on or before September 1, 2016.

The goal of this theme session, proposed for the 9th International Conference on Construction Grammar, is to bring together (frame) semanticists, (construction) grammarians, and computational linguists interested in advancing the role(s) of frames and constructions in computational semantics—or conversely, advancing the role of computational approaches in the characterization of frames and constructions. We seek contributions that address the following question broadly construed: How does the work inform the understanding of computing the meaning of a frame or construction?

SemEval 2016 Task 1: Semantic Textual Similarity (STS)

Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) measures the degree of equivalence in the underlying semantics of paired snippets of text. While making such an assessment is trivial for humans, constructing algorithms and computational models that mimic human level performance represents a difficult and deep natural language understanding (NLU) problem.
