Inference is Everything: Recasting Semantic Resources into a Unified Evaluation Framework
Aaron Steven White, Pushpendre Rastogi, Kevin Duh, Benjamin Van Durme
Abstract
We propose to unify a variety of existing semantic classification tasks, such as semantic role labeling, anaphora resolution, and paraphrase detection, under the heading of Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE). We present a general strategy to automatically generate one or more sentential hypotheses based on an input sentence and pre-existing manual semantic annotations. The resulting suite of datasets enables us to probe a statistical RTE model’s performance on different aspects of semantics. We demonstrate the value of this approach by investigating the behavior of a popular neural network RTE model.- Anthology ID:
