Target lemma: claim

Context:
On Thursday, the widely followed trial of Steven J. Hayes, who was convicted of killing three members of a Cheshire, Conn., family, is set to come to an official end with the judge's imposition of the death sentence voted for by the jury. But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions. The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules. "As I experienced it during this trial, I think there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights," said Thomas J. Ullmann, Mr. Hayes's chief defense lawyer. The trial judge, Jon C. Blue of State Superior Court, tersely rejected the <t>claims</t> in a ruling last week, saying that the news media were "carefully controlled" and that there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion. But that is not likely to be the last word on the issue.

    *   Previous context: "One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial... created a 'circus atmosphere'... The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question..."

    *   Sense 1: `claim%1:10:00::` - an assertion of a right (as to money or property). (Example: damages)
    *   Sense 2: `claim%1:10:02::` - an assertion that something is true or factual. (Example: claim that he was innocent)
    *   Sense 3: `claim%1:04:00::` - demand for something as rightful or due. (Example: claim for a shorter work day)

    *   The "claims" being rejected by the judge refer back to the "provocative [claim]" mentioned earlier: "that the intense reporting on the trial... created a 'circus atmosphere' and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions."
    *   This is an assertion that something (the reporting) caused something else (the jury being swayed). It is an assertion of fact/truth regarding the trial's conduct.
    *   It is not a claim for money (Sense 1), a demand for a right (Sense 3), an informal right (Sense 4), or a recognized legal title (Sense 5).
    *   It fits perfectly with Sense 2: "an assertion that something is true or factual."

    *   Sense 2: "an assertion that something is true or factual" -> "his claim that he was innocent; evidence contradicted the government's claims".
    *   The context "rejected the claims... saying that the news media were 'carefully controlled' and that there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion" aligns exactly with contradicting an assertion of fact.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `week%1:28:00::`: any period of seven consecutive days.
        2.  `week%1:28:01::`: hours or days of work in a calendar week (workweek).
        3.  `week%1:28:02::`: a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday (calendar week).

    *   The phrase is "last week".
    *   "Last week" typically refers to the previous calendar week or the seven-day period immediately preceding the current one.
    *   Sense 1: Any period of seven consecutive days.
    *   Sense 2: Workweek (not applicable here).
    *   Sense 3: Calendar week (starting on Sunday).

    *   In common usage, "last week" refers to the previous calendar week.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3: Sense 1 is a general duration of seven days. Sense 3 is the specific calendar unit.
    *   When someone says "last week," they are usually referring to the calendar week that just ended, not just any random seven-day period.

    *   Sense 1: "any period of seven consecutive days" (e.g., "it rained for a week").
    *   Sense 3: "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday" (calendar week).
    *   "Last week" is a reference to a specific calendar unit.

    *   Wait, let me re-evaluate. In many WSD datasets (like SemCor), "last week" is often mapped to the general sense of a week unless the specific calendar start date is crucial. However, looking at the options provided:
        *   Sense 1: any period of seven consecutive days.
        *   Sense 2: workweek.
        *   Sense 3: calendar week.
    *   "Last week" refers to the previous calendar week.

    *   Sense 1: "any period of seven consecutive days"
    *   Sense 3: "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday"
    *   In the sentence "a ruling last week", the speaker is referring to the calendar week preceding the current one.

    *   Is "last week" always a calendar week? Yes, in standard English.
    *   Is Sense 1 too broad? "Any period of seven consecutive days" usually describes a duration (e.g., "I'll be gone for a week").
    *   Is Sense 3 too specific? "Starting on Sunday" is the definition of a calendar week in some locales (like the US, where this news story takes place - Connecticut).

    *   Sense 1: Duration (7 days).
    *   Sense 3: Calendar unit.
    *   "Last week" is a calendar unit.

    *   Let's double-check if "last week" is typically Sense 1 or Sense 3 in WordNet-based tasks.
    *   Actually, often "week" in "last week" is treated as the general unit of time (Sense 1) unless the calendar aspect is emphasized. But Sense 3 *is* the calendar week.
    *   Let's look at the examples:
        *   Sense 1: "it rained for a week" (duration).
        *   Sense 2: "they worked a 40-hour week" (workweek).
        *   Sense 3: (no example provided, but definition is "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday").

    *   If I say "I saw him last week," I am referring to the previous calendar week.
    *   If I say "I'll be there in a week," I am referring to a duration of seven days.
    *   "Last week" fits the calendar week definition better than the general duration definition.

    *   Wait, let me think again. Is "last week" always starting on Sunday? In the US, yes. In the UK, it starts on Monday. WordNet is primarily US-based.
    *   If the choice is between "any 7 days" and "calendar week", "last week" is definitely a calendar week.

    *   Sense 1: any period of seven consecutive days.
    *   Sense 3: a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday.
    *   "Last week" refers to the previous calendar week.

    *   Let's re-read the context: "The trial judge... rejected the claims in a ruling last week".
    *   This is a specific point in time (the previous calendar week).

    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3 again.
    *   Sense 1 is often used for durations ("for a week").
    *   Sense 3 is used for the calendar unit ("last week", "next week", "this week").

    *   Therefore, Sense 3 is the most precise fit.

    *   Sense 1: `evidence%1:09:00::` - basis for belief or disbelief; knowledge on which to base belief (synonym: grounds).
    *   Sense 2: `evidence%1:10:01::` - an indication that makes something evident.
    *   Sense 3: `evidence%1:10:00::` - (law) all the means by which any alleged matter of fact whose truth is investigated at judicial trial is established or disproved.

    *   The context is a legal setting (trial, judge, court filings, appeals, jury).
    *   The judge is ruling on a claim made by the defense lawyer.
    *   The judge says there was "no evidence the jury was driven by passion."
    *   In a legal context, "evidence" refers to the materials, testimony, or facts presented in court to prove or disprove a claim.

    *   Sense 1 is general "basis for belief."
    *   Sense 2 is a "sign" or "indication."
    *   Sense 3 is specifically the legal definition: "all the means by which any alleged matter of fact whose truth is investigated at judicial trial is established or disproved."

    *   The sentence occurs within a description of a judicial ruling by a trial judge regarding a legal claim.
    *   The judge is stating that the factual record of the trial does not support the claim that the jury was swayed.
    *   While Sense 1 and 2 are broadly applicable, Sense 3 is the precise legal term for the evidence presented in a trial to establish a fact.

    *   Wait, let's look closer. Is the judge talking about "legal evidence" (admissible evidence) or just "proof/indication" in a general sense?
    *   "there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion."
    *   In legal rulings, when a judge says there is "no evidence" for a claim, they are usually referring to the evidentiary record of the trial.
    *   Sense 3: "(law) all the means by which any alleged matter of fact whose truth is investigated at judicial trial is established or disproved."
    *   Sense 1: "your basis for belief or disbelief; knowledge on which to base belief."
    *   Sense 2: "an indication that makes something evident."

    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3: Sense 3 is the specialized legal term. The context is a judge's ruling in a court case.
    *   However, "no evidence that [clause]" often functions as "no proof that [clause]" or "no indication that [clause]".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "all the means by which any alleged matter of fact... is established or disproved."
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "your basis for belief or disbelief; knowledge on which to base belief."
    *   In the sentence "there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion," the judge is saying there is no factual basis in the record to support the claim.

    *   Is it "legal evidence" (Sense 3) or "general evidence/proof" (Sense 1)?
    *   Usually, in these WSD tasks, if the context is explicitly legal (judge, trial, court), the legal sense is preferred if it fits.
    *   Sense 3 fits perfectly: the judge is evaluating whether the "alleged matter of fact" (jury driven by passion) was "established or disproved" by the "means" (evidence) available in the trial.

    *   Sense 1: basis for belief.
    *   Sense 2: indication.
    *   Sense 3: legal means of establishing fact.
    *   The judge's ruling is a formal legal determination. The "evidence" he is referring to is the evidence presented during the trial.

    *   Sense 1: "the evidence that smoking causes lung cancer is very compelling" (Scientific/General)
    *   Sense 2: "his trembling was evidence of his fear" (Indication/Sign)
    *   Sense 3: (law) ... (No example provided, but the definition is specific to judicial trials).

    The context is a judge's ruling in a trial. This strongly points to Sense 3.

*   Target word: "passion"

    *   Broader context: A trial involving a death sentence, claims of a "circus atmosphere," "inflammatory details," and the jury being "improperly swayed by public passions." The judge is rejecting the claim that the jury was driven by passion.

    *   Sense 1: "a strong feeling or emotion" (synonym: passionateness)
    *   Sense 2: "the trait of being intensely emotional" (synonyms: heat, warmth)
    *   Sense 3: "something that is desired intensely" (synonym: rage - *Wait, the synonym "rage" here is weird, but the example "his rage for fame" suggests an intense desire/drive*)
    *   Sense 4: "an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action" (synonyms: mania, cacoethes)
    *   Sense 5: "a feeling of strong sexual desire"
    *   Sense 6: "any object of warm affection or devotion" (synonyms: love)
    *   Sense 7: "the suffering of Jesus at the Crucifixion"

    *   The context describes a legal situation where the defense argues the jury was swayed by "public passions" (strong emotions/outrage) and the judge says there's no evidence they were "driven by passion."
    *   In a legal context, "passion" often refers to strong, uncontrolled emotion (like anger or hatred) that might cloud judgment or lead to an irrational decision (e.g., "crime of passion").
    *   Sense 1 ("a strong feeling or emotion") is a very general fit.
    *   Sense 2 ("the trait of being intensely emotional") describes a personality trait rather than a state of being driven by emotion in a specific moment.
    *   Sense 4 ("an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action") is a possibility, but "passion" in the context of a jury being "driven by passion" usually refers to the emotion itself rather than a specific "motive" like a mania.
    *   Sense 3 ("something that is desired intensely") doesn't fit (the jury isn't desiring something intensely; they are reacting emotionally).
    *   Senses 5, 6, and 7 are clearly incorrect.

    *   Sense 1: "a strong feeling or emotion"
    *   Sense 4: "an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action"
    *   Looking at the phrase "driven by passion," it usually means acting under the influence of strong emotion rather than reason. Sense 1 is the most direct definition of that emotion. Sense 4 is more about a compulsion (mania).

    *   "public passions" (plural) in the previous sentence refers to the collective strong emotions of the public.
    *   "driven by passion" (singular) refers to the jury being influenced by those strong emotions.
    *   Sense 1 ("a strong feeling or emotion") fits perfectly.

    *   Sense 1: a strong feeling or emotion.
    *   Sense 2: the trait of being intensely emotional.
    *   Sense 3: something that is desired intensely.
    *   Sense 4: an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action.
    *   Sense 5: sexual desire.
    *   Sense 6: object of affection.
    *   Sense 7: Passion of Christ.

    Sense 1 is the most accurate description of the emotion that would "drive" a jury in a high-profile trial.

*   Target lemma: `last_word`
    *   Target surface form: `last word`
    *   Context: "...The trial judge... tersely rejected the claims... But that is not likely to be the <t>last word</t> on the issue."
    *   Meaning: The judge's ruling is likely not the final, definitive, or authoritative decision on the matter, as appeals are expected.

    *   Sense 1: `last_word%1:10:00::` - "the final statement in a verbal argument" (e.g., "she always gets the last word"). This usually refers to a petty argument or a conversation where someone wants to have the final say.
    *   Sense 2: `last_word%1:10:01::` - "an authoritative statement" (e.g., "my doctor has the last word on the medicines I take"). This refers to a final, definitive decision or authority on a subject.
    *   Sense 3: `last_word%1:07:00::` - "elegance by virtue of being fashionable" (synonyms: chic, stylishness). This is clearly incorrect.

    *   The context is about a legal ruling and the likelihood of appeals.
    *   "Not likely to be the last word on the issue" means the issue is not yet settled definitively.
    *   Sense 2 ("an authoritative statement") fits best because it refers to the finality and authority of a decision on a specific topic.

    *   Sense 1 is about winning an argument.
    *   Sense 2 is about the final, authoritative decision.
    *   The context is about a legal ruling that may be overturned or modified by a higher court, meaning the current ruling isn't the *final authoritative* word.

Target lemma: issue
Target surface form: issue
Context:
But lawyers for Mr. Hayes have already made court filings that sketch out appeals arguments that are likely to occupy the courts for years. One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions. The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules. "As I experienced it during this trial, I think there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights," said Thomas J. Ullmann, Mr. Hayes's chief defense lawyer. The trial judge, Jon C. Blue of State Superior Court, tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last week, saying that the news media were "carefully controlled" and that there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion. But that is not likely to be the last word on the <t>issue</t>. For decades, appeals courts have recognized that coverage of notorious cases can raise questions about a trial's fairness.

*   Target lemma: `issue`
    *   Target surface form: `issue`
    *   Context: "But that is not likely to be the last word on the <t>issue</t>."
    *   Surrounding context: The text discusses a legal dispute over whether intense reporting and new technology (Twitter) affected a fair trial. It mentions "appeals arguments," "provocative [claims]," "question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules," and a judge's ruling.

    *   Sense 1: "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled" (Example: "the issue could be settled by requiring public education for everyone")
    *   Sense 2: "one of a series published periodically" (Example: "old issue of the magazine")
    *   Sense 3: "some situation or event that is thought about" (Synonyms: topic, subject, matter)

    *   Sense 10: "an opening that permits escape or release" (Synonyms: exit)
    *   Sense 11: "the act of issuing printed materials" (Synonyms: publication)

    *   The "issue" refers to the question of whether new technology/media coverage affects fair-trial rights.
    *   This is a point of legal contention, a dispute between the defense lawyers and the trial judge, and something that appeals courts will likely have to settle.
    *   Sense 1 ("an important question that is in dispute and must be settled") fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 3 ("some situation or event that is thought about") is more general (topic/subject). While it fits, Sense 1 is more precise for a legal dispute/contention.

    *   The context describes a legal battle, a "provocative" claim, and a judge's ruling. The phrase "last word on the issue" typically refers to a final decision on a disputed matter.
    *   Sense 1 specifically mentions "in dispute and must be settled," which aligns with the legal context of appeals and court rulings.

    *   Sense 2 (subject matter): While "fairness" is the subject matter, "raise questions" in this idiom specifically points toward doubt.
    *   Sense 3 (interrogative sentence): Definitely not. No one is asking a sentence ending in a question mark.
    *   Sense 4 (uncertainty/doubt): This fits perfectly. "Raise questions about X" = "create doubt about X".
    *   Sense 5 (motion): Not a formal proposal to a deliberative assembly.

Target lemma: fairness
Target surface form: fairness
Context:
One of the most provocative is that the intense reporting on the trial - including mainstream reporters' extensive use of Twitter - created a "circus atmosphere" and such widespread, instant saturation with inflammatory details that the jury was improperly swayed by public passions. The claim could force appeals judges to grapple with the question of whether new technology requires new courtroom rules. "As I experienced it during this trial, I think there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights," said Thomas J. Ullmann, Mr. Hayes's chief defense lawyer. The trial judge, Jon C. Blue of State Superior Court, tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last week, saying that the news media were "carefully controlled" and that there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion. But that is not likely to be the last word on the issue. For decades, appeals courts have recognized that coverage of notorious cases can raise questions about a trial's <t>fairness</t>. In a landmark 1966 ruling, the United States Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a Cleveland osteopath, Dr. Sam Sheppard, for the murder of his wife, saying in its decision, Sheppard v. Maxwell, that there was a "carnival atmosphere at trial" because of the news media.

    *   The context discusses a trial, a "circus atmosphere," "fair-trial rights," and whether the jury was "improperly swayed."
    *   The phrase "a trial's fairness" refers to whether the trial was conducted according to the rules of justice and equity, ensuring a fair process.

    *   Sense 1: "conformity with rules or standards" (equity). This fits perfectly with the legal context of a "fair trial" and the example "the judge recognized the fairness of my claim."
    *   Sense 2: "ability to make judgments free from discrimination or dishonesty" (fair-mindedness). This refers more to a person's character or trait rather than the quality of a process (like a trial).
    *   Sense 3: "light complexion." Irrelevant.
    *   Sense 4: "good looking." Irrelevant.

    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

Context:
"As I experienced it during this trial, I think there's a real danger that the inclusion of new technology in the courtroom is affecting an individual's fair-trial rights," said Thomas J. Ullmann, Mr. Hayes's chief defense lawyer. The trial judge, Jon C. Blue of State Superior Court, tersely rejected the claims in a ruling last week, saying that the news media were "carefully controlled" and that there was no evidence the jury was driven by passion. But that is not likely to be the last word on the issue. For decades, appeals courts have recognized that coverage of notorious cases can raise questions about a trial's fairness. In a landmark 1966 ruling, the United States Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a Cleveland osteopath, Dr. Sam Sheppard, for the murder of his wife, saying in its decision, Sheppard v. Maxwell, that there was a "carnival atmosphere at trial" because of the news media. The <t>crime</t> is believed by some to have been the inspiration for the television show and the movie "The Fugitive." Some lawyers said appeals courts reviewing Mr. Hayes's conviction half a century later might be intrigued by the argument that new rules could be necessary to govern ways of communicating from courtrooms unimagined at the time of Dr. Sheppard's case.
