## Abstract (arXiv)

The paper deals with elaborating different approaches to the machine processing of semantic sketches. It presents the pilot open corpus of semantic sketches. Different aspects of creating the sketches are discussed, as well as the tasks that the sketches can help to solve. Special attention is paid to the creation of the machine processing tools for the corpus. For this purpose, the SemSketches-2021 Shared Task was organized. The participants were given the anonymous sketches and a set of contexts containing the necessary predicates. During the Task, one had to assign the proper contexts to the corresponding sketches.
