A Joint Syntactic-Semantic Representation for Recognizing Textual Relatedness
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 shared by the pair, and also apply a co-reference resolver to group cross-sentential mentionings of the same entities together. For the evaluation, we achieve 63.7% of accuracy on the three-way test, 68.5% on the entailment vs. non-entailment test, and 74.3% on the relatedness recognition. Based on the error analysis, we will work on differentiating entailment and contradiction in the future.

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 کاملSyntactic/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 کاملA Preliminary Evaluation of the Impact of Syntactic Structure in Semantic Textual Similarity and Semantic Relatedness Tasks
The well related tasks of evaluating the Semantic Textual Similarity and Semantic Relatedness have been under a special attention in NLP community. Many different approaches have been proposed, implemented and evaluated at different levels, such as lexical similarity, word/string/POS tags overlapping, semantic modeling (LSA, LDA), etc. However, at the level of syntactic structure, it is not cle...
متن کاملIs the Stanford Dependency Representation Semantic?
The Stanford Dependencies are a deep syntactic representation that are widely used for semantic tasks, like Recognizing Textual Entailment. But do they capture all of the semantic information a meaning representation ought to convey? This paper explores this question by investigating the feasibility of mapping Stanford dependency parses to Hobbsian Logical Form, a practical, event-theoretic sem...
متن کاملRecognizing Textual Relatedness with Predicate-Argument Structures
In this paper, we first compare several strategies to handle the newly proposed three-way Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) task. Then we define a new measurement for a pair of texts, called Textual Relatedness, which is a weaker concept than semantic similarity or paraphrase. We show that an alignment model based on the predicate-argument structures using this measurement can help an RTE sy...
