SemEval-2017 Shared Task:
Detection and Interpretation of English Puns
Researchers and industry professionals are invited to participate in a shared task on the computational detection and interpretation of English puns. The task will occur as part of the SemEval-2017 workshop, to be held in conjunction with a major NLP conference (TBA) in the summer of 2017. SemEval is an ongoing series of evaluations of computational semantic analysis systems, organized under the aegis of SIGLEX, the Special Interest Group on the Lexicon of the Association for Computational Linguistics.
