Iris Hendrickx, Su Nam Kim, Zornitsa Kozareva, Preslav Nakov, Diarmuid Ó Séaghdha, Sebastian Padó, Marco Pennacchiotti, Lorenza Romano, and Stan Szpakowicz: SemEval-2010 Task 8: Multi-Way Classification of Semantic Relations Between Pairs of Nominals . Proceedings of the NAACL Workshop on Semantic Evaluations: Recent Achievements and Future Directions.

NB: This paper is identical in title, but not in content, to a 2010 Semeval paper. This paper describes the background of the task and its design decisions. For a discussion of the annotation issues and the submitted modelling results, see Hendrickx et al. 2010.

We present a brief overview of the main challenges in the extraction of semantic relations from English text, and discuss the shortcomings of previous data sets and shared tasks. This leads us to introduce a new task, which will be part of SemEval-2010: multi-way classification of mutually exclusive semantic relations between pairs of common nominals. The task is designed to compare different approaches to the problem and to provide a standard testbed for future research, which can benefit many applications in Natural Language Processing.
