Sentiment ambiguous adjectives cause major difficulties for existing algorithms of sentiment analysis. We present an evaluation task designed to provide a framework for comparing different approaches in this problem. We define the task, describe the data creation, list the participating systems and discuss their results. There are 8 teams and 16 systems.

This paper describes the system submitted by the IIIT-H team for the CogALex-2014 shared task on multiword association. The task involves generating a ranked list of responses to a set of stimulus words. The two-stage approach combines the strength of neural network based word embeddings and frequency based association measures. The system achieves an accuracy of 34.9% over the test set.

We present an evaluation task designed to provide a framework for comparing different approaches to extracting drug-drug interactions from biomedical texts. We define the task, describe the training/test data, list the participating systems and discuss their results. There were 10 teams who submitted a total of 40 runs.

In running memory span, a list ends unpredictably, and the last few items are to be recalled. This task is of increasing importance in recent research. We argue that there are two very different strategies for performing running span tasks: a low-effort strategy in which items are passively held until the list ends, when retrieval into a capacity-limited store takes place; and a higher-effort s...

Task allocation is an effective solution for resource management in Sensor and Actuator Networks. Optimal strategies lead to a reduction of individuals working on the same task and, therefore, to decreased interferences among them. We are currently studying a probabilistic task allocation algorithm inspired by the behaviour observed in animal colonies. In this paper, we introduce our ongoing wo...

The Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board presents Components of Preparedness Statements (COPS) to accompany its recently revised task list. The COPS expand the tasks identified as important to the practice of nuclear medicine technology. These tasks are developed through an extensive process called a task analysis, which is reviewed in the article. The COPS represent the final step i...
