Abstract

We describe the Argument Selection and Coercion task for the SemEval-2010 evaluation exercise. This task involves characterizing the type of compositional operation that exists between a predicate and the arguments it selects. Specifically, the goal is to identify whether the type that a verb selects is satisfied directly by the argument, or whether the argument must change type to satisfy the verb typing. We discuss the problem in detail, describe the data preparation for the task, and analyze the results of the submissions.
