trailing semicolons
Maarten van Gompel
I have a small question. We received the following message from Els
Lefever, regarding the WSD task 3:

As this observation seems to apply to this task as well, should we
submit our system output for this CLLS task with or without the final
";"? Or will you make sure that all system output is processed correctly
regardless of a possible trailing semicolon?

Hi Maarten
You were not intended to add the trailing ";" (contrary to the example
at 2.2.1 of the documentation) but I will make sure that the scorer is
amended to remove the trailing ";" in gold and system files so nobody
will loose out due to this.
So do remove the the trailing ";" but it won't hurt if it is there
very best
