Question: What hypernymy tasks do they study?

Evidence:
raw_evidence: Detection: In hypernymy detection, the task is to classify whether pairs of words are in a hypernymy relation. For this task, we evaluate all models on five benchmark datasets: First, we employ the noun-noun subset of bless, which contains hypernymy annotations for 200 concrete, mostly unambiguous nouns. Negative pairs contain a mixture of co-hyponymy, meronymy, and random pairs. This version contains 14,542 total pairs with 1,337 positive examples. Second, we evaluate on leds BIBREF13 , which consists of 2,770 noun pairs balanced between positive hypernymy examples, and randomly shuffled negative pairs. We also consider eval BIBREF14 , containing 7,378 pairs in a mixture of hypernymy, synonymy, antonymy, meronymy, and adjectival relations. eval is notable for its absence of random pairs. The largest dataset is shwartz BIBREF2 , which was collected from a mixture of WordNet, DBPedia, and other resources. We limit ourselves to a 52,578 pair subset excluding multiword expressions. Finally, we evaluate on wbless BIBREF15 , a 1,668 pair subset of bless, with negative pairs being selected from co-hyponymy, random, and hyponymy relations. Previous work has used different metrics for evaluating on BLESS BIBREF11 , BIBREF5 , BIBREF6 . We chose to evaluate the global ranking using Average Precision. This allowed us to use the same metric on all detection benchmarks, and is consistent with evaluations in BIBREF4 .
Direction: In direction prediction, the task is to identify which term is broader in a given pair of words. For this task, we evaluate all models on three datasets described by BIBREF16 : On bless, the task is to predict the direction for all 1337 positive pairs in the dataset. Pairs are only counted correct if the hypernymy direction scores higher than the reverse direction, i.e. INLINEFORM0 . We reserve 10% of the data for validation, and test on the remaining 90%. On wbless, we follow prior work BIBREF17 , BIBREF18 and perform 1000 random iterations in which 2% of the data is used as a validation set to learn a classification threshold, and test on the remainder of the data. We report average accuracy across all iterations. Finally, we evaluate on bibless BIBREF16 , a variant of wbless with hypernymy and hyponymy pairs explicitly annotated for their direction. Since this task requires three-way classification (hypernymy, hyponymy, and other), we perform two-stage classification. First, a threshold is tuned using 2% of the data, identifying whether a pair exhibits hypernymy in either direction. Second, the relative comparison of scores determines which direction is predicted. As with wbless, we report the average accuracy over 1000 iterations.
Graded Entailment: In graded entailment, the task is to quantify the degree to which a hypernymy relation holds. For this task, we follow prior work BIBREF19 , BIBREF18 and use the noun part of hyperlex BIBREF20 , consisting of 2,163 noun pairs which are annotated to what degree INLINEFORM0 is-a INLINEFORM1 holds on a scale of INLINEFORM2 . For all models, we report Spearman's rank correlation INLINEFORM3 . We handle out-of-vocabulary (OOV) words by assigning the median of the scores (computed across the training set) to pairs with OOV words.
