SemEval 2016 Task 13: Taxonomy Extraction Evaluation (TExEval 2)
This paper describes the second edition of the shared task on Taxonomy Extraction Evaluation organised as part of SemEval 2016. This task aims to extract hypernym hyponym relations between a given list of domain specific terms and then to construct a domain taxonomy based on them. TExEval 2 introduced a multilingual setting for this task, covering four different languages including English, Dutch, Italian and French from domains as diverse as environment, food and science. A total of 62 runs submitted by 5 different teams were evaluated using structural measures, by comparison with gold standard taxonomies and by manual quality assessment of novel relations.
