Abstract
Textual Entailment (TE), one of the current hot topics in Computational Linguistics, has been proposed as a task to address the problem of language variability. Since TE is due to the combination of different linguistic phenomena which interact among them in a complex way, this paper proposes to experiment the use of specialized entailment engines, each addressing a specific phenomenon relevant to entailment.
