BIUTEE: A Modular Open-Source System for Recognizing Textual Entailment

چکیده
This paper introduces BIUTEE1, an opensource system for recognizing textual entailment. Its main advantages are its ability to utilize various types of knowledge resources, and its extensibility by which new knowledge resources and inference components can be easily integrated. These abilities make BIUTEE an appealing RTE system for two research communities: (1) researchers of end applications, that can benefit from generic textual inference, and (2) RTE researchers, who can integrate their novel algorithms and knowledge resources into our system, saving the time and effort of developing a complete RTE system from scratch. Notable assistance for these researchers is provided by a visual tracing tool, by which researchers can refine and “debug” their knowledge resources and inference components.

An Open-Source Package for Recognizing Textual Entailment
This paper presents a general-purpose open source package for recognizing Textual Entailment. The system implements a collection of algorithms, providing a configurable framework to quickly set up a working environment to experiment with the RTE task. Fast prototyping of new solutions is also allowed by the possibility to extend its modular architecture. We present the tool as a useful resource...
متن کاملUsing Textual Entailment with Variables for KBP Slot Filling Task
This report presents our extension of the textual entailment paradigm, in which variables are incorporated in the hypothesis, and are lled with extracted information during the entailment recognition process. This paradigm is the basis for a novel approach of using variables in textual entailment, with various potential future applications. We experimented with this approach in the TAC 2012 Kno...

This paper describes the participation of Bar-Ilan university in the sixth RTE challenge. Our textual-entailment engine, BiuTee , was enhanced with new components that introduce chaining of lexical-entailment rules, and tackle the problem of approximately matching the text and the hypothesis after all available knowledge of entailment rules was utilized. We have also re-engineered our system ai...

This paper describes BIUTEE Bar Ilan University Textual Entailment Engine. BIUTEE is a natural language inference system in which the hypothesis is proven by the text, based on linguisticand worldknowledge resources, as well as syntactically motivated tree transformations. The main progress in BIUTEE in the last year is a new confidence model that estimates the validity of the proof found by BI...
متن کاملDesign and Realization of the EXCITEMENT Open Platform for Textual Entailment
Textual Entailment (TE) is a binary relation between two natural language text which holds if the truth of a first text implies the truth of the second one, or at least makes it very likely. Good methods to recognize TE have the potential to impact many NLP tasks, where the ability to draw conclusions from textual expressed facts is a key challenge. The area of TE has seen the development of a ...
