We computed linguistic information at the lexical, syntactic, and semantic levels for Recognizing Inference in Text (RITE) tasks for both traditional and simplified Chinese in NTCIR-9 and NTCIR-10. Techniques for syntactic parsing, named-entity recognition, and near synonym recognition were employed, and features like counts of common words, statement lengths, negation words, and antonyms were ...

There are significant differences among species in their ability to adapt to captivity. Some species breed well in captivity and usually show no apparent signs of poor welfare, while other highly similar species sometimes live only a short time, breed little or not at all and often show abnormal behaviours. Marine mammals provide several examples of these differences. Thus, the life expectancy ...

In this paper, we describe the IMTKU (Information Management at TamKang University) textual entailment system for recognizing inference in text at NTCIR-10 RITE-2 (Recognizing Inference in Text). We proposed a textual entailment system using a hybrid approach that integrate semantic features and machine learning techniques for recognizing inference in text at NTCIR-10 RITE-2 task. We submitted ...

The textual entailment system determines whether one sentence entails another in common sense. This is the second time of a RITE task in NTCIR projects. Three different subtasks, BC, MC, and RITE4QA, were held this time. We proposed several new features, and tried to construct RITE systems by using binaryor multi-class classifiers. After correcting errors in our submitted runs, our best (unoffi...
