Textual Entailment
ABOUT
Textual entailment is a directional binary relation between two text fragments. The entailment pair is composed of two expressions: the entailing Text (T) and the entailed Hypothesis (H). Generally speaking, T entails H if the meaning of H can be inferred from the meaning of T. In other words, logical entailment means that readers of the text consider the hypothesis as most likely true, e.g. Tim wears shorts (T) --> It is warm (H). However, especially in human communication the interferences between fragments are often more probable than fully logic.
