چکیده
A two-way Textual Entailment (TE) recognition system that uses lexical and syntactic features has been described in this paper. The TE system is rule based that uses lexical and syntactic similarities. The important lexical similarity features that are used in the present system are: WordNet based uni-gram match, bi-gram match, longest common sub-sequence, skip-gram, stemming. In the syntactic TE system, the important features used are: subject-subject comparison, subject-verb comparison, object-verb comparison and cross subject-verb comparison. The system has been separately trained on each development corpus released as part of the Recognising Textual Entailment (RTE) competitions RTE-1, RTE-2, RTE-3 and RTE-5 and tested on the respective RTE test sets. No separate development data was released in RTE-4. The evaluation results on each test set are compared with the RTE systems that participated in the respective RTE competitions with lexical and syntactic approaches.

A Comparison Framework of Similarity Metrics Used for Web Access Log Analysis
In this paper, different types of web session similarity metrics are compared and combined for better web session clustering. Syntactic and co-occurrence information are used for similarity calculation. Syntactic information on a web page includes the place of the page in the directory hierarchy. Co-occurrence information is the amount of the occurrences of two web pages in the same sessions. V...
متن کاملLearning the Impact and Behavior of Syntactic Structure: A Case Study in Semantic Textual Similarity
We present a case study on the role of syntactic structures towards resolving the Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) task. Although various approaches have been proposed, the research of using syntactic information to determine the semantic similarity is a relatively under-researched area. At the level of syntactic structure, it is not clear how significant the syntactic structure contributes to...
متن کاملYou can take a noun out of syntax...: Syntactic similarity effects in lexical priming
Usage-based theories of syntax predict that words and syntactic constructions are probabilistically interconnected. If this is true, then words that occur in similar distributions of syntactic constructions should prime each other. These effects should be fine-grained; even small differences between the syntactic distributions of pairs of words of the same grammatical category should cause vari...
متن کاملSentence Similarity Measuring by Vector Space Model Sentence Similarity Measuring by Vector Space Model
In Natural Language Processing and Text mining related works, one of the important aspects is measuring the sentence similarity. When measuring the similarity between sentences there are three major branches which can be followed. One procedure is measuring the similarity based on the semantic structure of sentences while the other procedures are based on syntactic similarity measure and hybrid...
متن کاملDifficulty of Processing Japanese and Korean Center- embedding Constructions
This research investigates the effects of syntactic, semantic, and morphophonemic similarity in the processing of center-embedding constructions in Japanese and Korean. Six Japanese experiments study the effects of syntactic and semantic similarity, while one Korean experiment deals with the effects of syntactic and morphophonemic similarity. The results from these experiments support the view ...
متن کاملAn Empirical Study of Scenario Similarity Measures
Syntactic similarity measures have been proposed as a technique to support scenario management and provide process guidance in scenario-based requirements analysis. Similarity measures support locating duplication and near-duplication between scenarios, searching in a collection of scenarios, identifying episodes shared among scenarios, and determining dependencies between scenarios. The effect...
