چکیده

This paper investigates cross-lingual textual entailment as a semantic relation between two text portions in different languages, and proposes a prospective research direction. We argue that cross-lingual textual entailment (CLTE) can be a core technology for several cross-lingual NLP applications and tasks. Through preliminary experiments, we aim at proving the feasibility of the task, and providing a reliable baseline. We also introduce new applications for CLTE that will be explored in future work.

FBK: Cross-Lingual Textual Entailment Without Translation

This paper overviews FBK’s participation in the Cross-Lingual Textual Entailment for Content Synchronization task organized within SemEval-2012. Our participation is characterized by using cross-lingual matching features extracted from lexical and semantic phrase tables and dependency relations. The features are used for multi-class and binary classification using SVMs. Using a combination of l...

HDU: Cross-lingual Textual Entailment with SMT Features

We describe the Heidelberg University system for the Cross-lingual Textual Entailment task at SemEval-2012. The system relies on features extracted with statistical machine translation methods and tools, combining monolingual and cross-lingual word alignments as well as standard textual entailment distance and bag-of-words features in a statistical learning framework. We learn separate binary c...

BUAP: Lexical and Semantic Similarity for Cross-lingual Textual Entailment

In this paper we present a report of the two different runs submitted to the task 8 of Semeval 2012 for the evaluation of Cross-lingual Textual Entailment in the framework of Content Synchronization. Both approaches are based on textual similarity, and the entailment judgment (bidirectional, forward, backward or no entailment) is given based on a set of decision rules. The first approach uses t...
