THE COMPETITION
Do you have a word sense disambiguation system? Is it the best one?
You can find out by competing in Senseval-2. The competition window
runs from May 18 - June 18, so there is still plenty of time to
participate. See the schedule on the website for details
(http://www.sle.sharp.co.uk/senseval2). You must register your system
first (if you haven't already).

The SENSEVAL-2 Workshop will be held on July 5-6, in conjunction with
ACL/EACL 2001 in Toulouse, France. Its purpose is to examine the
results of the competition, to discuss the state-of-the-art in
