A Probabilistic Setting And Lexical Coocurrence Model For Textual Entailment

چکیده
This paper proposes a general probabilistic setting that formalizes a probabilistic notion of textual entailment. We further describe a particular preliminary model for lexical-level entailment, based on document cooccurrence probabilities, which follows the general setting. The model was evaluated on two application independent datasets, suggesting the relevance of such probabilistic approaches for entailment modeling.

متن کاملA Lexical Alignment Model for Probabilistic Textual Entailment
This paper describes the Bar-Ilan system participating in the Recognising Textual Entailment Challenge. The paper proposes first a general probabilistic setting that formalizes the notion of textual entailment. We then describe a concrete alignment-based model for lexical entailment, which utilizes web co-occurrence statistics in a bag of words representation. Finally, we report the results of ...

متن کاملBar Ilan University Applied Textual Entailment
This thesis introduces the applied notion of textual entailment as a generic empirical task that captures major semantic inferences across many applications. Textual entailment addresses semantic inference as a direct mapping between language expressions and abstracts the common semantic inferences as needed for text based Natural Language Processing applications. We define the task and describ...
متن کاملA Probabilistic Classification Approach for Lexical Textual Entailment
The textual entailment task – determining if a given text entails a given hypothesis – provides an abstraction of applied semantic inference. This paper describes first a general generative probabilistic setting for textual entailment. We then focus on the sub-task of recognizing whether the lexical concepts present in the hypothesis are entailed from the text. This problem is recast as one of ...
