Textual Entailment - Fitchburg State College

چکیده
Our submission guesses at entailment based on word similarity between the hypotheses and the text. We attempt three kinds of comparisions: original words (with normalized dates and numbers) synonyms, and antonyms. Each of the three comparisions contributes a different weight to the entailment decision. Our results are insignificantly better than chance for the two-way comparison. However, for the three-way comparison they are much better.

UCD IIRG Approach to the Textual Entailment Challenge
This report outlines the approach taken by members of the IIRG at University College Dublin in the PASCAL Textual Entailment Challenge 2005. Our technique measures the semantic equivalence of each text/hypothesis pair by examining both linguistic and statistical features in these sentences using a decision tree classifier.

After defining what is understood by textual entailment and semantic equivalence, the present state and the desirable future of the systems aimed at recognizing them is shown. A compilation of the currently implemented techniques in the main Recognizing Textual Entailment and Semantic Equivalence systems is given.

متن کاملEffectively Using Syntax for Recognizing False Entailment
Recognizing textual entailment is a challenging problem and a fundamental component of many applications in natural language processing. We present a novel framework for recognizing textual entailment that focuses on the use of syntactic heuristics to recognize false entailment. We give a thorough analysis of our system, which demonstrates state-of-the-art performance on a widely-used test set.
متن کاملSimilarity Between Pairs Of Co-Indexed Trees For Textual Entailment Recognition
In this paper we present a novel similarity between pairs of co-indexed trees to automatically learn textual entailment classifiers. We defined a kernel function based on this similarity along with a more classical intra-pair similarity. Experiments show an improvement of 4.4 absolute percent points over state-of-the-art methods.
