SemEval 2026 Task 5 addresses this limitation by introducing plausibility rating, where models estimate how likely each sense is in a narrative context, aligning predictions with graded human judgments. We use GlossBERT and BEM as encoder-based baselines and show that large language models (LLMs) produce more accurate plausibility estimates.
