In this task, you will be presented with a context from an academic paper and a question separated with a 
. You have to answer the question based on the context.

The dataset consists of a set of polysemous words: 20 nouns, 20 verbs, and 10 adjectives and specifies 20 to 100 contexts per word, with the total of 4,664 contexts, drawn from the Open American National Corpus. Given a set of contexts of a polysemous word, the participants of the competition had to divide them into clusters by sense of the word. The contexts are manually labelled with WordNet senses of the target words, the gold standard clustering is generated from this labelling.

The task allows two setups: graded WSI where participants can submit multiple senses per word and provide the probability of each sense in a particular context, and non-graded WSI where a model determines a single sense for a word in context. In our experiments we performed non-graded WSI. We considered the most suitable sense as the one with the highest cosine similarity with embeddings of the context, as described in Section SECREF9. 
 Question: How are the different senses annotated/labeled? 
The contexts are manually labelled with WordNet senses of the target words

 For the embeddings, we relied on $AraVec$ BIBREF30 for Arabic, FastText BIBREF31 for French, and Word2vec Google News BIBREF32 for English .  
 Question: What monolingual word representations are used?
AraVec for Arabic, FastText for French, and Word2vec Google News for English.

As far as we know, all existing systems treat this task as a pipeline of two separate subtasks, i.e., event extraction and temporal relation classification, and they also assume that gold events are given when training the relation classifier BIBREF0, BIBREF1, BIBREF2, BIBREF3, BIBREF4, BIBREF5. Specifically, they built end-to-end systems that extract events first and then predict temporal relations between them (Fig. FIGREF1). In these pipeline models, event extraction errors will propagate to the relation classification step and cannot be corrected afterwards. Our first contribution is the proposal of a joint model that extracts both events and temporal relations simultaneously (see Fig. FIGREF1). 
 Question: Is this the first paper to propose a joint model for event and temporal relation extraction?

Yes
