ArbTE: Arabic Textual Entailment
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of the current work is to see how well existing techniques for textual entailment work when applied to Arabic, and to propose extensions which deal with the specific problems posed by the language. Arabic has a number of characteristics, described below, which make it particularly challenging to determine the relations between sentences. In particular, the lack of diacritics means that determining which sense of a word is intended in a given context is extremely difficult, since many related senses have the same surface form; and the syntactic flexibility of the language, notably the combination of free word-order, pro-drop subjects, verbless sentences, and compound NPs of various kinds, means that it is also extremely difficult to determine the relationships between words.

Arabic Textual Entailment with Word Embeddings
Determining the textual entailment between texts is important in many NLP tasks, such as summarization, question answering, and information extraction and retrieval. Various methods have been suggested based on external knowledge sources; however, such resources are not always available in all languages and their acquisition is typically laborious and very costly. Distributional word representa...
متن کاملA Dataset for Arabic Textual Entailment
There are fewer resources for textual entailment (TE) for Arabic than for other languages, and the manpower for constructing such a resource is hard to come by. We describe here a semi-automatic technique for creating a first dataset for TE systems for Arabic using an extension of the ‘headline-lead paragraph’ technique. We also sketch the difficulties inherent in volunteer annotators-based jud...
متن کاملTowards Logical Inference for Arabic Question-Answering
This article constitutes an opening to think of the modeling and the analysis of Arabic texts within a question-answering system. It is a question of exceeding the traditional investigations focused on morpho-syntactic approaches. We present a new approach that analyzes a text, transforms it to logical predicates and extracts the accurate answer. In addition, we represent different levels of in...
متن کاملRecognizing Partial Textual Entailment
Textual entailment is an asymmetric relation between two text fragments that describes whether one fragment can be inferred from the other. It thus cannot capture the notion that the target fragment is “almost entailed” by the given text. The recently suggested idea of partial textual entailment may remedy this problem. We investigate partial entailment under the faceted entailment model and th...
متن کاملText Grouping using Textual Entailment
Textual Entailment is an important field in Natural Language Processing domain. Given two texts called T (Text) and H (Hypothesis), the textual entailment recognition is the task of deciding whether the meaning of H can be logically inferred from that of T. A Textual Entailment (TE) system has developed and this system has tested on various entailment standard datasets. This TE will apply to di...
