Recognizing Textual Relatedness with Predicate-Argument Structures

چکیده
In this paper, we first compare several strategies to handle the newly proposed three-way Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) task. Then we define a new measurement for a pair of texts, called Textual Relatedness, which is a weaker concept than semantic similarity or paraphrase. We show that an alignment model based on the predicate-argument structures using this measurement can help an RTE system to recognize the Unknown cases at the first stage, and contribute to the improvement of the overall performance in the RTE task. In addition, several heterogeneous lexical resources are tested, and different contributions from them are observed.

IKOMA at TAC2011: A Method for Recognizing Textual Entailment using Lexical-level and Sentence Structure-level features
This paper describes the Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) system that our teams developed for TAC 2011. Our system combines the entailment score calculated by lexicallevel matching with the machine-learningbased filtering mechanism using various features obtained from lexical-level, chunk-level and predicate argument structure-level information. In the filtering mechanism, we try to discard...
متن کاملRecognizing Implied Predicate-Argument Relationships in Textual Inference
We investigate recognizing implied predicate-argument relationships which are not explicitly expressed in syntactic structure. While prior works addressed such relationships as an extension to semantic role labeling, our work investigates them in the context of textual inference scenarios. Such scenarios provide prior information, which substantially eases the task. We provide a large and freel...

We introduce PARMA, a system for crossdocument, semantic predicate and argument alignment. Our system combines a number of linguistic resources familiar to researchers in areas such as recognizing textual entailment and question answering, integrating them into a simple discriminative model. PARMA achieves state of the art results on an existing and a new dataset. We suggest that previous effor...
متن کاملRecognizing Textual Entailment Using Probabilistic Inference
Recognizing Text Entailment (RTE) plays an important role in NLP applications including question answering, information retrieval, etc. In recent work, some research explore “deep” expressions such as discourse commitments or strict logic for representing the text. However, these expressions suffer from the limitation of inference inconvenience or translation loss. To overcome the limitations, ...

Recognizing Textual Entailment using Description Logic and Semantic Relatedness Reda Siblini, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2014 Textual entailment (TE) is a relation that holds between two pieces of text where one reading the first piece can conclude that the second is most likely true. Accurate approaches for textual entailment can be beneficial to various natural language processing (NLP) appl...
