Using UIMA to Structure An Open Platform for Textual Entailment
نویسندگان
چکیده
EXCITEMENT is a novel, open software platform for Textual Entailment (TE) which uses the UIMA framework. This paper discusses the design considerations regarding the roles of UIMA within EXCITEMENT Open Platform (EOP). We focus on two points: a) how to best design the representation of entailment problems within UIMA CAS and its type system. b) the integration and usage of UIMA components among non-UIMA components.
