Their papers here centre on [word sense disambiguation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/topics/word-sense-disambiguation/) and [semantic role labeling](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/topics/semantic-role-labeling/). Both papers are shared-task overviews: they design common benchmarks, assemble annotated English text from resources such as OntoNotes, PropBank, VerbNet and WordNet, and compare competing systems under one protocol. The most cited of these is [SemEval-2007 Task-17](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/pradhan-2007-semeval-2007-task-17-english/), which assessed sense tagging and role labeling together on Wall Street Journal text. It offered a fine-grained all-words track, a coarse-grained lexical sample built on OntoNotes senses, and a role-labeling track scored against both PropBank and VerbNet labels. The VerbNet labels were mapped from PropBank through SemLink. The paper also attached bootstrap confidence intervals to every score and reported results with a frequent, trivially easy predicate removed. The later work, [SemEval-2010 Task 14 on word sense induction](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/manandhar-2010-semeval-2010-task-14-word/), moves from fixed sense inventories to senses learned without supervision from raw web text. Systems induced sense clusters from one corpus and then applied them to separate test instances. This made the task a test of whether a clustering model carries over to unseen data. To expose biases in individual metrics, the evaluation paired V-Measure with paired F-Score and averaged supervised scores over several random splits. Dligach is currently at Loyola University Chicago. Earlier bylines include the [University of Colorado Boulder](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/universities/university-of-colorado-boulder/), the period of these lexical-semantics papers, and later [Boston Children's Hospital](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/hospitals/boston-children-s-hospital/) and [Harvard University](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/universities/harvard-university/).
