This paper presents our approach used for cross-lingual textual entailment task (task 8) organized within SemEval 2013. Cross- lingual textual entailment (CLTE) tries to de- tect the entailment relationship between two text fragments in different languages. We solved this problem in three steps. Firstly, we use a off-the-shelf machine translation (MT) tool to convert the two input texts into the same language. Then after performing a text preprocessing, we extract multiple feature types with respect to surface text and gram- mar. We also propose novel feature types regarding to sentence difference and seman- tic similarity based on our observations in the preliminary experiments. Finally, we adopt a multiclass SVM algorithm for classification. The results on the cross-lingual data collec- ...
