Believe It or Not: Solving the TAC 2009 Textual Entailment Tasks through an Artificial Believer System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Text Analysis Conference (TAC) 2009 competition featured a new textual entailment search task, which extends the 2008 textual entailment task. The goal is to find information in a set of documents that are entailed from a given statement. Rather than designing a system specifically for this task, we investigated the adaptation of an existing artificial believer system to solve this task. The results show that this is indeed possible, and furthermore allows to recast the existing, divergent tasks of textual entailment and automatic summarization under a common umbrella.

A Belief Revision Approach to Textual Entailment Recognition
An artificial believer has to recognize textual entailment to categorize beliefs. We describe our system – the Fuzzy Believer system – and its application to the TAC/RTE three-way task.

This paper describes our system of recognizing textual entailment for RTE-5 challenge at TAC 2009. We propose a textual entailment recognition framework and implement a system of classification which takes lexical, syntactic and semantic features as considered. To improve the performance, some lexical-semantic resources and web knowledge bases are also incorporated in the system. Official resul...

This paper describes the Sagan system in the context of the Fifth Pascal Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE-5) Evaluation Challenge and the new Textual Entailment Search Pilot Task. The system employs a Support Vector Machine classifier with a set of 32 features, which includes lexical and semantic similarity for both two-way and three-way classification tasks. Additionally, we show an approac...
متن کاملOverlap Analysis in Textual Entailment Recognition
CL Research participated in the main and search pilot tasks of the 2009 Recognizing Textual Entailment track (RTE-5). Our system was little changed from what was used in previous RTE exercises. As a result of an apparent increased complexity in the task, our scores have declined from those in previous years. We submitted one 2-way run in the main task, with an accuracy of 0.53, and two runs in ...

In this paper we present the DLSIAUES team’s participation in the TAC 2008 Opinion Pilot and Recognizing Textual Entailment tasks. Structured in two distinct parts corresponding to these tasks, the paper presents the opinion and textual entailment systems, their components, as well as the tools and methods used to implement the approaches taken. Moreover, we describe the difficulties encountere...
