This paper describes an overview of RITE-2 (Recognizing Inference in TExt) task in NTCIR-10. We evaluated systems that automatically recognize semantic relations between sentences such as paraphrase, entailment, contradiction in Japanese, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. The tasks in RITE-2 are Binary Classification of entailment (BC Subtask), Multi-Class Classification including par...

(d) We say that an element p ∈ P (resp. q ∈ Q) is ∗∗-closed if p∗∗ = p (resp. q∗∗ = q). Prove that the Galois connection ∗ : P Q : ∗ restricts to an order-reversing bijection between ∗∗-closed elements. Proof. Let P ∗ ⊆ P and Q∗ ⊆ Q denote the images of the functions ∗ : Q → P and ∗ : P → Q, respectively. I claim that P ∗ ⊆ P is precisely the subset of ∗∗-closed elements. Indeed, if p∗∗ = p the...
