商品描述

In the last few years, a number of NLP researchers have developed and participated in the task of Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE). This task encapsulates Natural Language Understanding capabilities within a very simple interface: recognizing when the meaning of a text snippet is contained in the meaning of a second piece of text. This simple abstraction of an exceedingly complex problem has broad appeal partly because it can be conceived also as a component in other NLP applications, from Machine Translation to Semantic Search to Information Extraction. It also avoids commitment to any specific meaning representation and reasoning framework, broadening its appeal within the research community. This level of abstraction also facilitates evaluation, a crucial component of any technological advancement program.

This book explains the RTE task formulation adopted by the NLP research community, and gives a clear overview of research in this area. It draws out commonalities in this research, detailing the intuitions behind dominant approaches and their theoretical underpinnings.

This book has been written with a wide audience in mind, but is intended to inform all readers about the state of the art in this fascinating field, to give a clear understanding of the principles underlying RTE research to date, and to highlight the short- and long-term research goals that will advance this technology.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在過去幾年中,許多自然語言處理(NLP)研究人員已經開發並參與了文本脈絡推理(RTE)任務。這個任務在一個非常簡單的界面中封裝了自然語言理解的能力:識別出一段文本片段的意思是否包含在第二段文本的意思中。這種對極其複雜問題的簡單抽象具有廣泛的吸引力,部分原因是它可以被看作是其他NLP應用的組件,從機器翻譯到語義搜索再到信息提取。它還避免了對任何特定的意義表示和推理框架的承諾,擴大了它在研究界的吸引力。這種抽象層次還有助於評估,這是任何技術進步計劃的關鍵組成部分。

本書解釋了NLP研究界採用的RTE任務形式,並清晰地概述了這一領域的研究。它提取出這項研究中的共同點,詳細介紹了主要方法背後的直覺和理論基礎。

本書的寫作面向廣泛,但旨在向所有讀者介紹這個迷人領域的最新技術,清晰地理解迄今為止RTE研究的原則,並突出顯示推進這項技術的短期和長期研究目標。
