Abstract

The TUNA Challenge was a set of three shared tasks at REG '08, all of which used data from the TUNA Corpus. The three tasks covered attribute selection for referring expressions (TUNA-AS), realisation (TUNA-R) and end-to-end referring expression generation (TUNA-REG). 8 teams submitted a total of 33 systems to the three tasks, with an additional submission to the Open Track. The evaluation used a range of automatically computed measures. In addition, an evaluation experiment was carried out using the peer outputs for the TUNA-REG task. This report describes each task and the evaluation methods used, and presents the evaluation results.
