Expanding Textual Entailment Corpora Fromwikipedia Using Co-Training

Expanding Textual Entailment Corpora Fromwikipedia Using Co-Training - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2010, written by Fabio Massimo Zanzotto and Marco Pennacchiotti.

Overview

In this paper authors propose a novel method to automatically extract large textual entailment datasets homogeneous to existing ones. The key idea is the combination of two intuitions: (1) the use of Wikipedia to extract a large set of textual entailment pairs; (2) the application of semisupervised machine learning methods to make the extracted dataset homogeneous to the existing ones. Authors report empirical evidence that method successfully expands existing textual entailment corpora.
