Evaluation starts fro SemEval 2019 Task 8
The 2019 SemEval tasks are now live for participants. This task focuses on fact-checking in community question-answering forums and aims to solve the issues related to detecting true factual information found in online forums. The task is divided into two subtasks:
- Subtask A asks the participants to decide if a question asks for a piece of factual information, an opinion, or advice, or if it can be labeled as general socializing.
- Subtask B, the participants are asked to decide if the answer to a factual question is true, false, or cannot be considered a proper answer.
SemEval is an annual international workshop series of Natural Language Processing (NLP) evaluation tasks. The workshops aim to advance the field of semantic analysis and help create a quality annotated database addressing challenging issues in natural language semantics. SemEval focuses every year on a group of shared tasks to compare and evaluate the computational semantic analysis systems designed by different teams.
