The Lexical Substitution Task Test Set comprehends the test set and the gold labels used in the Lexical Substitution Task (https://www.evalita.it/2009/tasks/lexical), organised as part of the EVALITA 2009 evaluation campaign (http://www.evalita.it/2009). The task challenged participants to build systems that could automatically find synonyms for a set of 231 words appearing in different contexts.
The data set contains 1710 sentences extracted from the Italian Syntactic Semantic Treebank (ISST) in which the target words occur and a list of the synonyms (manually annotated), that constitute the gold labels.
