Abstract

This paper presents our approach to semantic relatedness and textual entailment subtasks organized as task 1 in SemEval 2014. Specifically, we address two questions: (1) Can we solve these two subtasks together? (2) Are features proposed for textual entailment task still effective for semantic relatedness task? To address them, we extracted seven types of features including text difference measures proposed in entailment judgement subtask, as well as common text similarity measures used in both subtasks. Then we exploited the same feature set to solve the both subtasks by considering them as a regression and a classification task respectively and performed a study of influence of different features. We achieved the first and the second rank for relatedness and entailment task respectively.
