Recognizing Textual Entailment by Soft Dependency Tree Matching

We present a rule - based method for recognizing entailmen t relation between a pair of text fragments by comparing their dependency tree structures. We used a dependency parser to generate the dependency triple s of the text – hypothesis pair s . A dependency triple is a n arc in the dependency par...
