Shallow Semantics for Textual Entailment Determination
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper analyses the contribution of shallow syntactic matching and thesaurus based equivalence in determining semantic equivalence of a pair of sentences. The performance of this approach is evaluated on two data sets and compared to other systems, as well as to manual evaluation results. We conclude that shallow semantics can model equivalence and entailment for pairs of syntactically similar sentences but it is not sufficient for reliable recognition of these relations in more complex cases.

Learning Parse-Free Event-Based Features for Textual Entailment Recognition
We propose new parse-free event-based features to be used in conjunction with lexical, syntactic, and semantic features of texts and hypotheses for Machine Learning-based Recognizing Textual Entailment. Our new similarity features are extracted without using shallow semantic parsers, but still lexical and compositional semantics are not left out. Our experimental results demonstrate that these ...
متن کاملBnO at NTCIR-10 RITE: A Strong Shallow Approach and an Inference-based Textual Entailment Recognition System
The BnO team participated in the Recognizing Inference in TExt (RITE) subtask of the NTCIR-10 Workshop [5]. This paper describes our textual entailment recognition system with experimental results for the five Japanes subtasks: BC, MC, EXAMBC, EXAM-SEARCH, and UnitTest. Our appoach includes a shallow method based on word overlap features and named entity recognition; and a novel inferencebased ...
متن کاملThe Role of Semantics in Recognizing Textual Entailment
Systems designed to recognize textual entailment typically employ both syntax and semantics. Our goal in this paper is to explore the degree to which semantics alone can be used to accurately detect entailment so that we can gain a better understanding of this single component within an entailment system. This paper reports the knowledge-bases considered and selected for person names, locations...
متن کاملUsing Minimal Recursion Semantics for Entailment Recognition
This paper describes work on using Minimal Recursion Semantics (MRS) representations for the task of recognising textual entailment. I use entailment data from a SemEval-2010 shared task to develop and evaluate an entailment recognition heuristic. I compare my results to the shared task winner, and discuss differences in approaches. Finally, I run my system with multiple MRS representations per...
متن کاملDistributional semantic models for detection of textual entailment
We present our experiments on integrating and evaluating distributional semantics with the recognising textual entailment task (RTE). We consider entailment as semantic similarity between text and hypothesis coupled with additional heuristic, which can be either selecting the top scoring hypothesis or a pre-defined threshold. We show that a distributional model is particularly good at detecting...
