Textual Entailment（自然语言推理－文本蕴含） - AllenNLP

自然语言推理是NLP高级别的任务之一，不过自然语言推理包含的内容比较多，机器阅读，问答系统和对话等本质上都属于自然语言推理。最近在看AllenNLP包的时候，里面有个模块：文本蕴含任务(text entailment)，它的任务形式是：

给定一个前提文本（premise），根据这个前提去推断假说文本（hypothesis）与premise的关系，一般分为蕴含关系（entailment）和矛盾关系（contradiction），蕴含关系（entailment）表示从premise中可以推断出hypothesis；矛盾关系（contradiction）即hypothesis与premise矛盾。文本蕴含的结果就是这几个概率值。

 

Textual Entailment
Textual Entailment (TE) models take a pair of sentences and predict whether the facts in the first necessarily imply the facts in the second one. The AllenNLP TE model is a re-implementation of the decomposable attention model (Parikh et al, 2017), a widely used TE baseline that was state-of-the-art onthe SNLI dataset in late 2016. The AllenNLP TE model achieves an accuracy of 86.4% on the SNLI 1.0 test dataset, a 2% improvement on most publicly available implementations and a similar score as the original paper. Rather than pre-trained Glove vectors, this model uses ELMo embeddings, which are completely character based and account for the 2% improvement.
