CoNLL-2009 Shared Task: Syntactic and Semantic Dependencies in Multiple Languages

The shared task combines the shared tasks of the previous five years under a unique dependency-based formalism which models both syntactic dependencies and semantic roles. As in 2008, the CoNLL-2009 shared task combined dependency parsing and the task of identifying and labeling semantic arguments of verbs (and other parts of speech whenever available). Participants had to choose from two tasks: joint task (syntactic dependency parsing and semantic role labeling), or  SRL-only task (syntactic  dependency parses have been provided by the organizers, using state-of-the art parsers for the individual languages).
