  In response to the continuing research interest in computational semantic
analysis, we have proposed a new task for SemEval-2010: multi-way
classification of mutually exclusive semantic relations between pairs of
nominals. The task is designed to compare different approaches to the problem
and to provide a standard testbed for future research. In this paper, we define
the task, describe the creation of the datasets, and discuss the results of the
participating 28 systems submitted by 10 teams.
