Textual Entailment (Teza de Doctorat, coordonator: prof.dr. Dan Cristea)
-----------------------------------
          
ABSTRACT
-----------------------------------
The recognition of textual entailment is one of the recent challenges
of the Natural Language Processing (NLP) domain and one of the
most demanding. The RTE Challenge starts in 2005 and it is an
attempt to promote an abstract generic task that captures major
semantic inference needs across applications. The task requires
recognising, given two text fragments, whether the meaning of
one text can be inferred (entailed) from another text. The presentation
of the Textual Entailment system used by author in competitions
from 2007 and 2008 makes the main content of the thesis. One
of the main objective of the thesis is to demonstrate the utility
of the Textual Entailment system in two important tracks from
QA@CLEF challenge: Question Answering and Answer Validation Exercise,
for the English and Romanian languages.
