Multilingual and Crosslingual WSD

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This lacks sufficient context and appears to be a description of a task developed for a workshop in 2013 that has not attracted a significant amount of notice in secondary sources and hence fails WP:GNG. It is also extremely technical and difficult to understand. Batard0 (talk) 12:44, 7 October 2012 (UTC) Crosslingual WSD task has carried out in Semeval2010 and moreover it had been developed as a valid proof of concept see http://polibits.gelbukh.com/2011_43/43-04.htm. Although the multilingual WSD is a task for 2013, it is also held in Semeval 2007 but of a different nature, http://nlp.cs.swarthmore.edu/semeval/tasks/task05/summary.shtml. With regards to notability, i believe the article has its place. With regards to understand-ability, i believe that the page has sufficient out-links within wikipedia to explicate whatever else that a reader might not understand. Please explain your statement on "extremely technical" if the required knowledge isn't already available through wikipedia links on the page. Personally, the problem of understand-ability isn't a point for deletion when it comes to scientific knowledge, as long as it is well-referenced, wiki readers should be able to trace knowledge through hyperlinks (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_microarray, is this article also un-understandable?)

 * Delete. I agree with Alvations that this material has its place, but that place is the SemEval web site, not an encyclopedia. I also note that the article was created with an abbreviation in its title that only a minuscule percentage of readers could be expected to understand, so, if for some bizarre reason this is kept, the title needs to be changed.

 * Merge to SemEval, but if this task seems undue relative to other SemEval activities, then delete it. SemEval/Senseval is a wonderful thing, but most encyclopedia users are probably not interested in the specific tasks, all of the papers, or even the individual conferences. (On that point, by the way, see also Articles for deletion/SemEval-1, which resulted in deleting pages on five conferences.) SemEval includes external links; individual projects should be described at SemEval-affiliated web sites. Editors interested in this discussion may also be interested in Articles for deletion/Word Sense Induction and Disambiguation task. Cnilep (talk) 01:40, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * To the extent that SemEval is notable (no independent coverage right now), merge there. Tijfo098 (talk) 07:47, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
