SemEval 2018 Shared Task on Hypernym Discovery

This competition is presented as a complementary benchmark for modeling hypernymy, a problem which has traditionally been cast as a binary classification task, taking a pair of candidate words as input. Instead, our reformulated task is defined as follows: given an input term, retrieve (or discover) its suitable hypernyms from a target corpus. Five different tasks are proposed covering three languages (English, Spanish, and Italian), and two specific domains of knowledge in English (Medical and Music).
