Visual Denotations for Recognizing Textual Entailment
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the logic approach to Recognizing Textual Entailment, identifying phrase-tophrase semantic relations is still an unsolved problem. Resources such as the Paraphrase Database offer limited coverage despite their large size whereas unsupervised distributional models of meaning often fail to recognize phrasal entailments. We propose to map phrases to their visual denotations and compare their meaning in terms of their images. We show that our approach is effective in the task of Recognizing Textual Entailment when combined with specific linguistic and logic features.

Visually-Verifiable Textual Entailment: A Challenge Task for Combining Language and Vision
We propose visually-verifiable textual entailment as a challenge task for the emerging field of combining language and vision. This task is a variant of the wellstudied NLP task of recognizing textual entailment (Dagan et al., 2006) where every entailment judgment can be made purely by reasoning with visual knowledge. We believe that this task will spur innovation in the language and vision fie...
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 کاملTechniques for Recognizing Textual Entailment and Semantic Equivalence

متن کاملBIUTEE: A Modular Open-Source System for Recognizing Textual Entailment
This paper introduces BIUTEE1, an opensource system for recognizing textual entailment. Its main advantages are its ability to utilize various types of knowledge resources, and its extensibility by which new knowledge resources and inference components can be easily integrated. These abilities make BIUTEE an appealing RTE system for two research communities: (1) researchers of end applications,...
متن کاملEffectively Using Syntax for Recognizing False Entailment
Recognizing textual entailment is a challenging problem and a fundamental component of many applications in natural language processing. We present a novel framework for recognizing textual entailment that focuses on the use of syntactic heuristics to recognize false entailment. We give a thorough analysis of our system, which demonstrates state-of-the-art performance on a widely-used test set.
