Dependency-based paraphrasing for recognizing textual entailment
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses syntax-based paraphrasing methods for Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE). In particular, we describe a dependency-based paraphrasing algorithm, using the DIRT data set, and its application in the context of a straightforward RTE system based on aligning dependency trees. We find a small positive effect of dependency-based paraphrasing on both the RTE3 development and test sets, but the added value of this type of paraphrasing deserves further analysis.

Expanded Dependency Structure based Textual Entailment Recognition System of NTTDATA for NTCIR10-RITE2
This paper describes NTT DATA’s recognizing textual entailment(RTE) systems for NTCIR10 RITE2. We participate in four Japanese tasks, BC Subtask, Unit Test, Exam BC and Exam Search[5]. Our approach uses a ratio with the same semantic relations between words. It is necessary to recognize two semantic viewpoints, which are the semantic relation and the meaning between words in a sentence, in orde...
متن کاملTKDDI group at NTCIR10-RITE2: Recognizing Texual Entailment Based on Dependency Structure Alignment
This paper discribes the TKDDI system which participated in NTCIR10-RITE2. We propose a method for recognizing textual entailment by not using only word alignment, but also using syntactic dependency structure alignment. Entailment can then be recognized by the overlap of the dependency structures. Our system achieved a macro f1 of 63.83 on JA-BC, 49.08 on JA-ExamBC and 74.00 on JAUnitTest.
متن کاملInferring textual entailment with a probabilistically sound calculus
We introduce a system for textual entailment that is based on a probabilistic model of entailment. The model is defined using a calculus of transformations on dependency trees, which is characterized by the fact that derivations in that calculus preserve the truth only with a certain probability. The calculus is successfully evaluated on the datasets of the PASCAL Challenge on Recognizing Textu...
متن کاملRecognizing Textual Entailment using Dependency Analysis and Machine Learning
This paper presents a machine learning system that uses dependency-based features and lexical features for recognizing textual entailment. The proposed system evaluates the feature values automatically. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated by conducting experiments on RTE1, RTE2 and RTE3 datasets. Further, a comparative study of the current system with other ML-based systems for ...
متن کاملThe Role of Sentence Structure in Recognizing Textual Entailment
Recent research suggests that sentence structure can improve the accuracy of recognizing textual entailments and paraphrasing. Although background knowledge such as gazetteers, WordNet and custom built knowledge bases are also likely to improve performance, our goal in this paper is to characterize the syntactic features alone that aid in accurate entailment prediction. We describe candidate fe...
