The ASSIN 2 Shared Task: A Quick Overview

This paper offers a brief overview on the ASSIN 2, an evaluation shared task collocated with STIL 2019. ASSIN 2 covered two different but related tasks: Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE), also known as Natural Language Inference (NLI), and Semantic Textual Similarity (STS). The ASSIN 2 collection was made of pairs of sentences annotated with human judgments for NLI and STS. Participating teams could take part in any of the tasks or both: nine teams participated in the STS task and eight in the NLI task.
