=== Technical Requirements === 

The task will proceed using Python notebook run in web browser in the [https://colab.research.google.com/ Google Colaboratory] environment 
with the MU G-Suite disk access.

In case of running the codes in a local environment, the requirements are 
Python 3, and NLTK module.

 * Access the [https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1lHphWGR-i6P7HqTJ_39Eo8FnPe8OJuSD Python notebook in the Google Colab environment] and make your own copy. Do not forget to save your work if you want to see your changes later, leaving the browser will throw away all changes!


 * The script reads file {{{input.txt}}} (each line is word|definition) and outputs hypernym for each word.
 * Default approach is naive: ''first noun in definition is hypernym''
 * Update the {{{find_hyper()}}} function  to provide better results.
 * Upload updated script plus the output.
 * Gold standard to evaluate your result: [[raw-attachment:gold_en.txt|gold_en.txt]]
