From Lexical Entailment to Recognizing Textual Entailment Using Linguistic Resources
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce our Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) system developed on the basis of Lexical Entailment between two text excerpts, namely the hypothesis and the text. To extract atomic parts of hypotheses and texts, we carry out syntactic parsing on the sentences. We then utilize WordNet and FrameNet lexical resources for estimating lexical coverage of the text on the hypothesis. We report the results of our RTE runs on the Text Analysis Conference RTE datasets. Using a failure analysis process, we also show that the main difficulty of our RTE system relates to the underlying difficulty of syntactic analysis of sentences.

Mining Wikipedia for Large-scale Repositories of Context-Sensitive Entailment Rules
This paper focuses on the central role played by lexical information in the task of Recognizing Textual Entailment. In particular, the usefulness of lexical knowledge extracted from several widely used static resources, represented in the form of entailment rules, is compared with a method to extract lexical information from Wikipedia as a dynamic knowledge resource. The proposed acquisition me...

This paper describes our Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) system developed at University of Ballarat, Australia for participation in the Text Analysis Conference RTE 2010 competition. This year, we participated in the Main task and used a machine learning approach for learning textual entailment relationships using parse-free lexical semantic features. For this, we employed FrameNet and Wor...
متن کاملRecognizing Textual Entailment in Non-english Text via Automatic Translation into English
We show that a task that typically involves rather deep semantic processing of text—being recognizing textual entailment our case study—can be successfully solved without any tools at all specific for the language of the texts on which the task is performed. Instead, we automatically translate the text into English using a standard machine translation system, and then perform all linguistic pro...
متن کاملVisual Denotations for Recognizing Textual Entailment
In the logic approach to Recognizing Textual Entailment, identifying phrase-tophrase semantic relations is still an unsolved problem. Resources such as the Paraphrase Database offer limited coverage despite their large size whereas unsupervised distributional models of meaning often fail to recognize phrasal entailments. We propose to map phrases to their visual denotations and compare their me...
متن کاملIKOMA at TAC2011: A Method for Recognizing Textual Entailment using Lexical-level and Sentence Structure-level features
This paper describes the Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) system that our teams developed for TAC 2011. Our system combines the entailment score calculated by lexicallevel matching with the machine-learningbased filtering mechanism using various features obtained from lexical-level, chunk-level and predicate argument structure-level information. In the filtering mechanism, we try to discard...
