FBK-TR: SVM for Semantic Relatedeness and Corpus Patterns for RTE

This paper reports the description and scores of our system, FBK-TR, which participated at the SemEval 2014 task #1 "Evaluation of Compositional Distributional Semantic Models on Full Sentences through Semantic Relatedness and Entailment". The system consists of two parts: one for computing semantic relatedness, based on SVM, and the other for identifying the entailment values on the basis of both semantic relatedness scores and entailment patterns based on verb-specific semantic frames. The system ranked 11 th on both tasks with competitive results.
