    Dear Colleagues,

    We are working on word sense disambiguation. We are trying to evaluate
    a well known WSD algorithm if it is also valid for humans. Below, you
    will find the information and the instructions about this survey.
    Hope you have time to contribute to this work. If you let us, we will
    be pleased to include your name in our report.

    Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to put this survey on web. So
    we have chosen electronic worksheets as the most practical way of
    doing this survey. To be able to join to this survey you should
    download the zip archive from
    http://www.ergin.altintas.org/poll-art-25.zip and extract the four
    files in it:

    Files in the archive :
    ----------------------
    1. instructions.pdf
    2. poll-art-25.xls
    3. poll-art-25.sxc
    4. poll-art-25.pdf

    First file is the instructions for the survey. Second is the excel
    file which you are supposed to fill in. If you dont use excel you can
    use the third file with openoffice. We prefer you to fill in these
    worksheets and send back to us. But in case you dont use both of these
    programs, you may send your answers in plain text using the PDF file
    and the simple format below:

    Sample answer:

    Page 1: 1-3 2-1 3-2 4-0 5-1 ... 23-0 24-0 25-2
    Page 2: 1-3 2-2 3-4 4-1 5-3 ... 23-0 24-2 25-2
    ..
    Page 3: 1-3 2-2 3-4 4-1 5-3 ... 23-0 24-4 25-1

    "Page 1: 1-3" means: my answer to the first line in page 1 is 3 and
    etc....

    If you wish you can also print out the PDF (7 pages) and fill on paper
    by hand and send by mail to:

    Thank you for your interest...
