Abstract

In this paper, we present a Recognizing Textual Entailment system which uses semantic similarity metrics to sentence level only using WordNet as source of knowledge. We show how the widely used semantic measures Word-Net-based can be generalized to build sentence level semantic metrics in order to be used in the RTE. We also provide an analysis of efficiency of these metrics and drawn some conclusions about their utility in the practice in recognizing textual entailment. We also show that using the proposed method to extend word semantic measures could be used in building an average score system that only uses semantic information from WordNet.
