| Challenge: | Existing studies restrict modal expressions to a closed syntactic class . modal sense labels are vastly different across different studies, lacking an accepted standard . |
| Approach: | They propose a task where modal expressions can be words of any syntactic class and sense labels are drawn from a comprehensive taxonomy which harmonizes the modal concepts contributed by the different studies. |
| Outcome: | The proposed task is based on the Georgetown Gradable Modal Expressions corpus . it detects and classifies fine-grained modal concepts and associates them with modified events . |
