Encoding Generalized Quantifiers in Dependency-based Compositional Semantics

For textual entailment recognition systems, it is often important to correctly handle Gen-eralized quantifiers (GQ). In this paper, we explore ways of encoding GQs in a recent framework of Dependency-based Composi-tional Semantics, especially aiming to cor-rectly handle linguistic knowledge like hy-ponymy when GQs are involved. We use both the selection operator mechanism and a new relation extension to implement some major properties of GQs, reducing 69 % errors of a previous system, and a further error analy-sis suggests extensions towards more power-ful logical systems. 1
