# Hypernym Discovery
# Based on Camacho-Collados et al., SemEval 2018
# Paper: https://aclanthology.org/S18-1115/
# Dataset: https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/17119
#
# This task asks annotators to identify the hypernym (broader/parent term)
# of a target term given its usage in context. Annotators also classify
# whether the hypernym relation is for an entity, concept, or both.
#
# Hypernym Type Labels:
# - Entity: The target term refers to a named entity (person, place, organization)
# - Concept: The target term refers to a general concept or class
# - Both: The target term can be interpreted as both entity and concept

annotation_instructions: |
  You will be shown a sentence containing a target term (highlighted) along with its domain.
  Your task is to:
  1. Identify the hypernym (broader/parent category) of the target term.
  2. Classify whether the target is an entity, concept, or both.
  For example, the hypernym of "dog" is "animal", and the hypernym of "Paris" is "city".
