    Task #6: Word-Sense Disambiguation of Prepositions

    http://nlp.cs.swarthmore.edu/semeval/tasks/task06/description.shtml

    Abstract

    A major research topic in computational linguistics is semantic role
    labeling. Prepositions are important mediators of semantic roles,
    particularly oblique arguments and adjuncts. As part of The Preposition
    Project, preposition instances from FrameNet have been tagged with
    senses from the Oxford Dictionary of English. All major English
    prepositions are included, with the number of instances ranging from 100
    to over 4000 for the preposition "of". Additional data on each instance
    (e.g., FrameNet frame element) has been generated and is available for
    use in this disambiguation task. Since prepositions are a closed class,
    this SemEval task has the potential for creating fundamental
    characterizations of their behavior.
