BnO at NTCIR-10 RITE: A Strong Shallow Approach and an Inference-based Textual Entailment Recognition System.
Ran Tian, Yusuke Miyao, Takuya Matsuzaki, Hiroyoshi Komatsu · 2013
The BnO team participated in the Recognizing Inference in TExt (RITE) subtask of the NTCIR-10 Workshop [5]. This paper describes our textual entailment recognition sys-tem with experimental results for the five Japanes subtasks: BC, MC, EXAMBC, EXAM-SEARCH, and UnitTest. Our appoach includes a shallow method based on word overlap features and named entity recognition; and a novel inference-based approach utilizing an inference engine to explore re-lations among algebraic forms of sets, which are computed from a tree representation similar to the depency-based com-positional semantics.
