Experimenting a "General Purpose" Textual Entailment Learner in AVE
[chapter]
2007
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this paper we present the use of a "general purpose" textual entailment recognizer in the Answer Validation Exercise (AVE) task. ...
Its main feature is the use of Support Vector Machines (SVMs) with kernel functions based on cross-pair similarity between entailment pairs. ...
The Answer Validation Exercise (AVE) instead provides an opportunity to show that such recognizers are useful for Question Answering. ...

Visuo-Linguistic Question Answering (VLQA) Challenge
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
We propose a novel task to derive joint inference about a given image-text modality and compile the Visuo-Linguistic Question Answering (VLQA) challenge corpus in a question answering setting. ...
Each dataset item consists of an image and a reading passage, where questions are designed to combine both visual and textual information i.e., ignoring either modality would make the question unanswerable ...
