Discovering Commonsense Entailment Rules Implicit in Sentences
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reasoning about ordinary human situations and activities requires the availability of diverse types of knowledge, including expectations about the probable results of actions and the lexical entailments for many predicates. We describe initial work to acquire such a collection of conditional (if–then) knowledge by exploiting presuppositional discourse patterns (such as ones involving ‘but’, ‘yet’, and ‘hoping to’) and abstracting the matched material into general rules.

Commonsense Entailment: A Modal Theory of Non-monotonic Reasoning
In this paper, we construct a truth conditional semantics for generic sentences, which treats arbitrarily deep nestings of generic sentences. The resulting notion of logical entailment captures intuitively valid argument forms involving generics. A dynamic semantics is built on top of the truth conditional one, and the resulting inference notion captures nonmonotonic argument patterns familiar ...
متن کاملParaphrase and Textual Entailment Generation in Czech
Paraphrase and textual entailment generation can support natural language processing (NLP) tasks that simulate text understanding, e.g., text summarization, plagiarism detection, or question answering. A paraphrase, i.e., a sentence with the same meaning, conveys a certain piece of information with new words and new syntactic structures. Textual entailment, i.e., an inference that humans will j...
متن کاملDiscovering Entailment Relations Using "Textual Entailment Patterns"
In this work we investigate methods to enable the detection of a specific type of textual entailment (strict entailment), starting from the preliminary assumption that these relations are often clearly expressed in texts. Our method is a statistical approach based on what we call textual entailment patterns, prototypical sentences hiding entailment relations among two activities. We experimente...
متن کاملParaphrase and Textual Entailment Generation
One particular information can be conveyed by many different sentences. This variety concerns the choice of vocabulary and style as well as the level of detail (from laconism or succinctness to total verbosity). Although verbosity in written texts is considered bad style, generated verbosity can help natural language processing (NLP) systems to fill in the implicit knowledge. The paper presents...
متن کاملApplying COGEX to Recognize Textual Entailment
The PASCAL RTE challenge has helped LCC to explore the applicability of enhancements that have been made to our logic form representation and WordNet lexical chains generator. Our system transforms each T-H pair into logic form representation with semantic relations. The system automatically generates NLP axioms serving as linguistic rewriting rules and lexical chain axioms that connect concept...
