A Straightforward Pipeline for Targeted Entailment and Contradiction Detection

2025-08-23 · Antonin Sulc arxiv

Finding the relationships between sentences in a document is crucial for tasks like fact-checking, argument mining, and text summarization. A key challenge is to identify which sentences act as premises or contradictions for a specific claim. Existing methods often face a trade-off: transformer attention mechanisms can identify salient textual connections but lack explicit semantic labels, while Natural Language Inference (NLI) models can classify relationships between sentence pairs but operate independently of contextual saliency. In this work, we introduce a method that combines the strengths of both approaches for a targeted analysis. Our pipeline first identifies candidate sentences that are contextually relevant to a user-selected target sentence by aggregating token-level attention scores. It then uses a pretrained NLI model to classify each candidate as a premise (entailment) or contradiction. By filtering NLI-identified relationships with attention-based saliency scores, our method efficiently isolates the most significant semantic relationships for any given claim in a text.

Identifying Implicit Premises for Logical Reconstruction of Argument Graphs

2026-08-19 · Xuyao Feng, Anthony Hunter arxiv

The logical reconstruction of argument graphs from natural language text is challenging because of the prevalence of enthymemes (i.e., arguments with implicit premises). There are natural language processing methods for …

Using contradictions improves question answering systems

2022-09-28 · Étienne Fortier-Dubois, Domenic Rosati

This work examines the use of contradiction in natural language inference (NLI) for question answering (QA). Typically, NLI systems help answer questions by determining if a potential answer is \emph{entailed} (supported…

CLASH: A Benchmark for Cross-Modal Contradiction Detection

2025-11-24 · Teodora Popordanoska, Jiameng Li, Matthew B. Blaschko arxiv

Contradictory multimodal inputs are common in real-world settings, yet existing benchmarks typically assume input consistency and fail to evaluate cross-modal contradiction detection - a fundamental capability for preven…
