Researchers in textual entailment have begun to consider inferences involving downward-entailing operators, an interesting and important class of lexical items that change the way inferences are made.
Cristi: “Nicio” is that adjective you’ve mentioned.
In this section, we briefly summarize those aspects of the DLD09 method that are important to understanding how our new co-learning method works.
In this section, we develop an iterative co-learning algorithm that can extract DE operators in the many languages where a high-quality NPI
Our results show that there is indeed favorable synergy between DE-operator and pNPI retrieval.
Applying our algorithm to English: connections to linguistic typology So far, we have made no assumptions about the language on which our algorithm is applied.
