SemKer: Syntactic/Semantic Kernels for Recognizing Textual Entailment
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe the SemKer system participating to the fifth Recognizing of Textual Entailment (RTE5) challenge. The major novelty with respect to the systems with which we participated to the previous challenges is the use of semantic knowledge based on Wikipedia. More specifically, we used it to enrich the similarity measure between pairs of text and hypothesis (i.e. the tree kernel for text and hypothesis pairs), with a lexical similarity (i.e. the similarity between the leaves of the trees. The results show the benefit of this added semantic information.

Syntactic/Semantic Structures for Textual Entailment Recognition
In this paper, we describe an approach based on off-the-shelf parsers and semantic resources for the Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) challenge that can be generally applied to any domain. Syntax is exploited by means of tree kernels whereas lexical semantics is derived from heterogeneous resources, e.g. WordNet or distributional semantics through Wikipedia. The joint syntactic/semantic mod...
متن کاملCompositional Distributional Semantics Models in Chunk-based Smoothed Tree Kernels
The field of compositional distributional semantics has proposed very interesting and reliable models for accounting the distributional meaning of simple phrases. These models however tend to disregard the syntactic structures when they are applied to larger sentences. In this paper we propose the chunk-based smoothed tree kernels (CSTKs) as a way to exploit the syntactic structures as well as ...

Recognizing Textual Entailment using Description Logic and Semantic Relatedness Reda Siblini, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2014 Textual entailment (TE) is a relation that holds between two pieces of text where one reading the first piece can conclude that the second is most likely true. Accurate approaches for textual entailment can be beneficial to various natural language processing (NLP) appl...
متن کاملA Joint Syntactic-Semantic Representation for Recognizing Textual Relatedness
This paper describes our participation in the Recognizing Textual Entailment challenge (RTE-5) in the Text Analysis Conference (TAC 2009). Following the two-stage binary classification strategy, our focus this year is to recognize related Text-Hypothesis pairs instead of entailment pairs. In particular, we propose a joint syntactic-semantic representation to better capture the key information s...
متن کاملWHU at TAC 2009: A Tri-categorization Approach to Textual Entailment Recognition
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...
