Title: Hypernymy entailment type
Speaker: Elena Akhmatova

Following the idea of approaching the entailment pairs that are not
recognized well by the state-of-the-art generic textual entailment
recognition systems I will be talking this time about the hypernymy
entailment pairs. These are the entailments where the text sentence contains
two noun phrases and the task is to decide whether one of them is a hypernym
of another one. As usually I'll define the class of the hypernymy entailment
pairs and present an algorithm for their recognition.
