Explaining Answers with Entailment Trees
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
To train a model with this skill, we created ENTAILMENTBANK, the first dataset to contain multistep entailment trees. ...
Our goal, in the context of open-domain textual question-answering (QA), is to explain answers by showing the line of reasoning from what is known to the answer, rather than simply showing a fragment of ...
These methods are primarily designed for answers to "lookup" questions, to explain where/how an answer was found in a corpus. ...

Predicting the Understandability of OWL Inferences
[chapter]
2013
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this paper, we describe a method for predicting the understandability level of inferences with OWL. ...
We also present an evaluation study which confirms that our model works relatively well for two-step inferences with OWL. ...
A justification provides a set of premises for an entailment, so is helpful for diagnosing an erroneous entailment; however, unlike a proof, it does not explain how the premises combine with each other ...

XTE: Explainable Text Entailment
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
Furthermore, for entailments requiring world knowledge, most systems still work as a "black box", providing a yes/no answer that does not explain the underlying reasoning process. ...
In this work, we introduce XTE - Explainable Text Entailment - a novel composite approach for recognizing text entailment which analyzes the entailment pair to decide whether it must be resolved syntactically ...
With respect to the entailment recognition methods adopted in this work, although tree edit distance has already been used in text entailment [13] , graph traversal approaches have been explored more ...

METGEN: A Module-Based Entailment Tree Generation Framework for Answer Explanation
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
Advances on QA explanation propose to explain the answers with entailment trees composed of multiple entailment steps. ...
Knowing the reasoning chains from knowledge to the predicted answers can help construct an explainable question answering (QA) system. ...
Conclusion We propose METGEN, a module-based framework to generate the entailment trees for explaining answers. METGEN reasons with single-step entailment modules and the reasoning controller. ...

Towards Entailment-Based Question Answering: ITC-irst at CLEF 2006

The participation in the AVE task, with an answer validation module based on textual entailment recognition, is motivated by our objectives of (i) creating a modular framework for an entailment-based approach ...
to QA, and (ii) developing, in compliance with this framework, a stand-alone component for answer validation which implements different approaches to the problem. ...
The difficulty of the rte task explains the relatively poor performance of the systems participating in the PASCAL Challenge. ...

Using Neural Networks to Generate Inferential Roles for Natural Language
2018
Frontiers in Psychology
We then show that it is possible to train a tree-structured neural network model to generate very simple examples of such inferential roles using the recently released Stanford Natural Language Inference ...
On an empirical front, we evaluate the performance of this model by reporting entailment prediction accuracies on a set of test sentences not present in the training data. ...
It is therefore theoretically possible to compute ranked collections of entailments with each tree. ...

Logic programming with tabling and constraints (TCLP, tabled constraint logic programming) has been shown to be more expressive and, in some cases, more efficient than LP, CLP, or LP with tabling. ...
In Section 4 we explain the benefits of using entailment checking with more relaxed notions projections. ...

Information structure as parallel tree building

Proceedings of the International Conference on Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar
This paper presents a Synchronous Tree Adjoining Grammar (STAG) account of Information Structure, whereby Givenness-marking requires a link between nodes on a syntactic tree and LF nodes whose interpretation ...
This, combined with some established insights from Game-theoretic pragmatics, yields empirical advantages over more traditional semantic/pragmatic analyses of equal simplicity. ...
The interaction of two such principles explains why answers to QUDs are not G-marked, even when Given: effort minimization and forward induction. ...
