    Senseval (http://www.senseval.org) is the international organization
    devoted to the evaluation of Word Sense Disambiguation Systems. Its
    mission is to organise and run evaluation and related activities to test
    the strengths and weaknesses of WSD systems with respect to different
    words, different aspects of language, and different languages. It's
    underlying goal is to further our understanding of lexical semantics and
    polysemy.

    Senseval-1 took place in the summer of 1998 for English, French, and
    Italian, culminating in a workshop held at Herstmonceux Castle, Sussex,
    England on September 2-4.
    Senseval-2 took place in the summer of 2001, and was followed by a
    workshop held in July 2001 in Toulouse, in conjunction with ACL-2001. It
    included tasks for Basque, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English,
    Estonian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Swedish.

                 We are now getting ready for SENSEVAL-3!

    Senseval 3 evaluation is scheduled to take place in March 2004, and the
    workshop is planned for July, hopefully in conjunction with ACL-04 in
    Barcelona. As with previous evaluations, participants will be provided
    with training data, and will have the chance to test their systems on
    common data sets. Similar tasks will use the same data format.

    16 different tasks have been proposed for Senseval 3. We are now seeking
    to get feedback from potential participants, and kindly ask those who may
    be interested to participate in one or more Senseval-3 tasks, to fill in
    the call for interest in participation form available at:

    http://www.cs.unt.edu/~rada/senseval/senseval3/cfi.html

    Please fill in this form before June 15, 2003. Your feedback is very much
    appreciated and will help us better organize Senseval-3!

    Thank you,

    Rada Mihalcea and Phil Edmonds
    Senseval-3 coordinators
