چکیده

In this paper, we present the methodology and the results obtained by our teams, dubbed Blue Man Group, in the ASSIN (from the Portuguese Avaliação de Similaridade Semântica e Inferência Textual) competition, held at PROPOR 2016. Our team’s strategy consisted of evaluating methods based on semantic word vectors, following two distinct directions: 1) to make use of low-dimensional, compact, feature sets, and 2) deep learning-based strategies dealing with high-dimensional feature vectors. Evaluation results demonstrated that the first strategy was more promising, so that the results from the second strategy have been discarded. As a result, by considering the best run of each of the six teams, we have been able to achieve the best accuracy and F1 values in entailment recognition, in the Brazilian Portuguese set, and the best F1 score overall. In the semantic similarity task, our team was ranked second in the Brazilian Portuguese set, and third considering both sets.

Análise de Medidas de Similaridade Semântica na Tarefa de Reconhecimento de Implicação Textual (Analysis of Semantic Similarity Measures in the Recognition of Textual Entailment Task)[In Portuguese]

In this work, we present a feature-based approach to the RTE (Recognizing Text Entailment) task that verifies the similarity between two sentences including syntactic and semantic aspects. The selected features come from the winning work of the RTE task of the workshop ASSIN (Semantic Similarity Evaluation and Textual Inference) with some changes and addition of other semantic feature. The eval...

UIO-Lien: Entailment Recognition using Minimal Recursion Semantics

In this paper we present our participation in the Semeval 2014 task “Evaluation of compositional distributional semantic models on full sentences through semantic relatedness and textual entailment”. Our results demonstrate that using generic tools for semantic analysis is a viable option for a system that recognizes textual entailment. The invested effort in developing such tools allows us to ...

Effects of Using Simple Semantic Similarity on Textual Entailment Recognition

We applied various WordNet based similarity measures to the RTE (Recognizing Textual Entailment) task in order to compare the effects of them on Textual Entailment Recognition. Although the improvements over a baseline system are not big, many of them show positive effects.

Learning Shallow Semantic Rules for Textual Entailment

In this paper we present a novel technique for integrating lexical-semantic knowledge in systems for learning textual entailment recognition rules: the typed anchors. These describe the semantic relations between words across an entailment pair. We integrate our approach in the cross-pair similarity model. Experimental results show that our approach increases performance of cross-pair similarit...

The Effect of Semantic Knowledge Expansion to Textual Entailment Recognition

This paper studies the effect of semantic knowledge expansion applied to the Textual Entailment Recognition task. In comparison to the already existing approaches we introduce a new set of similarity measures that captures hidden semantic relations among different syntactic categories in a sentence. The focus of our study is also centred on the synonym, antonym and verb entailment expansion of ...
