I'm working on some open source projects that pertain to recognizing entailment in plain text. Entailment is the relation that holds when one text "follows from" another.

For example, "Carolina beat Duke" follows from "Carolina defeated the Duke Blue Devils once again". I have a demo here: http://ec2-23-22-22-135.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8001/demo

Here's an example app that uses entailment recognition to answer natural language polar (yes or no) questions: gavinmh.github.io/HelloTablet.

I'd be happy to talk to anyone who is interested in getting involved.

I like your demo. Do you have references to papers that you used as a basis for your code?

Thanks. It is based on http://nlp.stanford.edu/~wcmac/papers/nli-diss.pdf.

I use a simpler alignment representation, and use semantic role types in the predictions.
