Target lemma: sponsor
Target surface form: sponsor
Context:
One of the cases at issue was a suit brought by 26 states challenging the sweeping healthcare overhaul passed by Congress last year, a law that has been a rallying cry for conservative activists nationwide. The justices agreed to hear the suit; indeed, a landmark 5.5 - hour argument is expected in March, and the outcome is likely to further roil the 2012 presidential race, which will be in full swing by the time the court's decision is released. The lawyer who will stand before the court and argue that the law should be thrown out is likely to be Paul Clement, who served as U.S. solicitor general during the George W. Bush administration. Clement's law firm, Bancroft PLLC, was one of almost two dozen firms that helped sponsor the annual dinner of the Federalist Society, a longstanding group dedicated to advocating conservative legal principles. Another firm that sponsored the dinner, Jones Day, represents one of the trade associations that challenged the law, the National Federation of Independent Business. Another <t>sponsor</t> was pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc, which has an enormous financial stake in the outcome of the litigation. The dinner was held at a Washington hotel hours after the court's conference over the case.

    *   Sense 1 is the correct fit.

    *   Context: The text describes a legal case, the Federalist Society, and an "annual dinner" sponsored by law firms and Pfizer. It mentions the dinner was "held at a Washington hotel" and that people (like Mitch McConnell) were "in attendance."
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `dinner%1:14:00::`: a party of people assembled to have dinner together (synonym: dinner party).
        2.  `dinner%1:13:00::`: the main meal of the day served in the evening or at midday.

    *   The context refers to an "annual dinner of the Federalist Society."
    *   It mentions sponsors (law firms, Pfizer).
    *   It says the dinner was "held at a Washington hotel."
    *   It mentions people were "in attendance."
    *   This describes a social/professional event (a dinner party/gala) rather than just the act of eating the main meal of the day.

    *   Sense 1: "a party of people assembled to have dinner together" (dinner party). This fits perfectly with "annual dinner," "sponsored," "held at a hotel," and "in attendance."
    *   Sense 2: "the main meal of the day." This refers to the food/time of eating, not the event/gathering itself.

    *   The context clearly points to the event/gathering. Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

    *   Surrounding context: Mentions of "the court" (likely Supreme Court), "presidential race", "U.S. solicitor general", "Federalist Society", "Senate's top Republican", "healthcare law". This strongly suggests the setting is the political center of the US.

    *   Sense 1: `washington%1:14:00::` - the federal government of the United States (metonymy for the government).
    *   Sense 2: `washington%1:18:00::` - George Washington (1st President).

    *   The phrase is "a Washington hotel".
    *   Hotels are located in cities or states.
    *   Given the context of the Supreme Court, the Senate, and the federal government, the hotel is almost certainly located in Washington D.C.
    *   Sense 1 (federal government) doesn't fit "a [government] hotel" as well as "a [city] hotel".
    *   Sense 4 (Washington state) is geographically incorrect for the context of the Supreme Court and Senate.
    *   Senses 2 and 3 are people.

    *   Sense 5 is the capital city (Washington D.C.). This is the most logical fit for "a Washington hotel" in the context of federal politics and the Supreme Court.

    *   Looking at the synonyms: Sense 2 has "lawcourt, court of law, court of justice". Sense 5 has "tribunal, judicature".
    *   The context "the court's conference over the case" refers to the judges meeting. This fits the definition of a tribunal (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 2: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws"

    *   Usually, "the court" in "the court's decision" or "the court's conference" refers to the judicial body (Sense 2). Sense 5 is slightly more abstract ("judicature").

    *   Sense 2 is the standard meaning for a court of law.

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 5: "an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business".
    *   And Sense 2: "a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws".
    *   In the context of "the court's conference", it refers to the group of judges. Both 2 and 5 are very close. However, "tribunal" is listed in both. "Lawcourt" (Sense 2) is the most common term for the entity.

    *   Let's look at the context again: "The justices agreed to hear the suit... the court's decision is released... the lawyer who will stand before the court... the court's conference over the case."
    *   This is clearly the judicial body. Sense 2 is the most comprehensive definition for a court of law.

    *   Sense 2: court%1:06:05
    *   Sense 5: court%1:14:00
    *   Looking at WordNet's hierarchy, `court%1:06:05` (Sense 2) is a `tribunal`. `court%1:14:00` (Sense 5) is also a `tribunal`.
    *   Actually, in many WordNet versions, `court%1:06:05` is the primary sense for "court of law".

    *   Sense 2: a tribunal that is presided over by a magistrate or by one or more judges who administer justice according to the laws.
    *   Sense 5: an assembly (including one or more judges) to conduct judicial business.
    *   The "conference over the case" is the judges meeting. This is the "assembly" (Sense 5) or the "tribunal" (Sense 2).
    *   However, "the court" in "the court's decision" and "stand before the court" almost always maps to the institution/tribunal (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 2 is the most fitting for "court of law".

Target lemma: conference
Target surface form: conference
Context:
The justices agreed to hear the suit; indeed, a landmark 5.5 - hour argument is expected in March, and the outcome is likely to further roil the 2012 presidential race, which will be in full swing by the time the court's decision is released. The lawyer who will stand before the court and argue that the law should be thrown out is likely to be Paul Clement, who served as U.S. solicitor general during the George W. Bush administration. Clement's law firm, Bancroft PLLC, was one of almost two dozen firms that helped sponsor the annual dinner of the Federalist Society, a longstanding group dedicated to advocating conservative legal principles. Another firm that sponsored the dinner, Jones Day, represents one of the trade associations that challenged the law, the National Federation of Independent Business. Another sponsor was pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc, which has an enormous financial stake in the outcome of the litigation. The dinner was held at a Washington hotel hours after the court's <t>conference</t> over the case. In attendance was, among others, Mitch McConnell, the Senate's top Republican and an avowed opponent of the healthcare law.

    *   The "court's conference over the case" refers to the private meeting where justices discuss a case and vote on the outcome.
    *   This is a formal, prearranged meeting for consultation and discussion.
    *   Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 3:
        *   Sense 2 is a general "discussion" or "group discussion".
        *   Sense 3 is a "prearranged meeting for consultation or exchange of information or discussion (especially one with a formal agenda)".
    *   In the context of a court (especially the Supreme Court), a "conference" is a specific, formal meeting. Sense 3 fits the "prearranged meeting" and "formal agenda" aspect better than a general "group discussion".

    *   Sense 1: Sports league (No)
    *   Sense 2: Group discussion (Possible, but less precise)
    *   Sense 3: Prearranged meeting for consultation/discussion (Best fit for a judicial conference)

    *   Sense 3 (special circumstances/case): Does not fit. "In that event" is a conditional phrase.
    *   Sense 4 (something that happens at a given place and time): This fits perfectly. A dinner, a conference, a meeting, or a gala are all "something that happens at a given place and time".

    *   Sense 4 is the correct choice.

*   Target lemma: "years"

    *   Context: "The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for <t>years</t>."
    *   Meaning: The justices have been attending these events for a long time.

    *   Sense 1: `year%1:28:02::` - a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year (e.g., school year). (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 2: `years%1:28:01::` - a prolonged period of time (synonyms: long time, age; example: "I haven't been there for years and years"). (Matches well)
    *   Sense 3: `class%1:14:04::` - a body of students who graduate together. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 4: `year%1:28:01::` - a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days (e.g., "she is 4 years old"). (This is the literal count of years, but "for years" usually implies a prolonged period).
    *   Sense 5: `years%1:28:00::` - a late time of life (old age). (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 6: `years%1:28:02::` - the time during which someone's life continues (e.g., "final years"). (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 7: `year%1:28:00::` - astronomical year. (Incorrect)

    *   The phrase "for years" in "have been attending... for years" is an idiomatic way of saying "for a long time."
    *   Sense 2 specifically defines "years" as "a prolonged period of time" and gives the example "I haven't been there for years and years."
    *   Sense 4 is the literal unit of time. While "years" is the plural of "year," the phrase "for years" typically maps to the "long time" sense in WSD tasks when it's used hyperbolically or generally to mean a long duration.

    *   Sense 2: `years%1:28:01::` - a prolonged period of time.
    *   Sense 4: `year%1:28:01::` - a period of time containing 365 days.
    *   In the sentence "The two justices have been attending Federalist Society events for years," it means they have done so for a long time. Sense 2 is the most precise fit for this usage.

*   Target lemma: `rule`
    *   Target surface form: `rules`
    *   Context: "...And it's nothing that runs afoul of ethics <t>rules</t>. In fact, justices are exempt from the Code of Conduct that governs the actions of lower federal justices."

    *   The phrase is "ethics rules".
    *   The context mentions "runs afoul of", "Code of Conduct", and "governs the actions of lower federal justices".
    *   This refers to regulations or principles that govern professional behavior (ethics).

    *   1: (mathematics) standard procedure for solving problems. (Incorrect)
    *   2: regulations for a religious order. (Incorrect)
    *   3: a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior (synonym: regulation). (Strong candidate)
    *   4: (linguistics) linguistic practice. (Incorrect)
    *   5: basic generalization accepted as true for reasoning/conduct (synonym: principle). (Possible, but less specific than regulation)

    *   11: normative example (convention). (Incorrect)
    *   12: measuring stick (ruler). (Incorrect)

    *   Sense 3: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" (synonym: regulation).
    *   Sense 6: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" (synonym: prescript).

    Looking at the context "ethics rules" and "Code of Conduct", these are formal regulations. Sense 3 specifically lists "regulation" as a synonym. Sense 6 is "prescribed guide for conduct or action".

    In many WordNet-based disambiguation tasks, "rules" in the sense of "regulations" (like ethics rules, company rules, etc.) maps to sense 3 (regulation).

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 3 vs Sense 6.
    Sense 3: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" (synonym: regulation).
    Sense 6: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" (synonym: prescript).

    "Ethics rules" are regulations. "Regulation" is the synonym for Sense 3.

    Wait, let me check the examples for Sense 3: "it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast; short haircuts were the regulation".
    The first example is a personal rule. The second is a dress code (regulation).

    Let's look at Sense 6 again: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".

    Actually, looking at the WordNet hierarchy:
    rule (3) -> regulation
    rule (6) -> prescript

    In the context of "ethics rules" and "Code of Conduct", these are formal regulations. Sense 3's synonym "regulation" fits very well.

    Let's double-check if there's a better fit.
    Sense 3: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior"
    Sense 6: "prescribed guide for conduct or action"

    Usually, "ethics rules" are formal regulations. Sense 3 is often used for this.

    Let's compare:
    "runs afoul of ethics rules"
    "runs afoul of regulations" (Sense 3)
    "runs afoul of prescripts" (Sense 6)

    "Regulation" is a much more common synonym for "rule" in this context.

    Wait, let me look at the senses again.
    Sense 3: rule%1:09:00 (regulation)
    Sense 6: rule%1:10:00 (prescript)

    In many datasets, "rules" meaning "regulations" is mapped to sense 3.

    Let's re-read Sense 3: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior".
    Let's re-read Sense 6: "prescribed guide for conduct or action".

    "Ethics rules" are prescribed guides for conduct. However, "regulation" (Sense 3) is a very strong synonym for "rule" in a legal/professional context.

    Let's check Sense 3 examples again: "short haircuts were the regulation". This is a rule/regulation.

    Let's check Sense 6 again. It doesn't have examples.

    Comparing "regulation" (3) and "prescript" (6). "Regulation" is far more common for "ethics rules".

    Final check:
    Context: "ethics rules", "Code of Conduct", "governs the actions".
    Sense 3: "principle or condition that customarily governs behavior", synonym "regulation".
    This fits perfectly.
