Learning textual entailment from examples
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a novel approach for learning entailment relations from positive and negative examples. We define a similarity between two text-hypothesis pairs based on a syntactic and lexical information. We experimented our model within the RTE 2006 challenge obtaining the accuracy of 63.88% and 62.50% for the two submissions.

A machine learning approach to textual entailment recognition
Designing models for learning textual entailment recognizers from annotated examples is not an easy task, as it requires modeling the semantic relations and interactions involved between two pairs of text fragments. In this paper, we approach the problem by first introducing the class of pair feature spaces, which allow supervised machine learning algorithms to derive first-order rewrite rules ...
متن کاملActive Learning-based Local Graph Matching for Textual Entailment
This paper presents a robust textual entailment system using the principle of just noticeable difference in psychology, which we call a local graph matching-based system with active learning. First, although an early textual entailment task often involved two rather simple sentences of T (“Text”) and H (“Hypothesis”), the recent textual entailment task often involves multiple / complex / compou...
متن کاملUB.dmirg: Learning Textual Entailment Relationships Using Lexical Semantic Features
This paper describes our Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) system developed at University of Ballarat, Australia for participation in the Text Analysis Conference RTE 2010 competition. This year, we participated in the Main task and used a machine learning approach for learning textual entailment relationships using parse-free lexical semantic features. For this, we employed FrameNet and Wor...
متن کاملExpanding textual entailment corpora fromWikipedia using co-training
In this paper we propose a novel method to automatically extract large textual entailment datasets homogeneous to existing ones. The key idea is the combination of two intuitions: (1) the use of Wikipedia to extract a large set of textual entailment pairs; (2) the application of semisupervised machine learning methods to make the extracted dataset homogeneous to the existing ones. We report emp...
متن کاملLearning Textual Entailment on a Distance Feature Space
Textual Entailment recognition is a very difficult task as it is one of the fundamental problems in any semantic theory of natural language. As in many other NLP tasks, Machine Learning may offer important tools to better understand the problem. In this paper, we will investigate the usefulness of Machine Learning algorithms to address an apparently simple and well defined classification proble...
