By introducing a second challenge we hope to keep the momentum going, and to further promote the formation of a research community around the applied entailment task. As in the previous challenge, the main task is judging whether a hypothesis (H) is entailed by a text (T). One of the main goals for the RTE-2 dataset is to provide more "realistic" text-hypothesis examples, based mostly on outputs of actual systems. We focus on the four application settings mentioned above: QA, IR, IE and multi-document summarization. Each portion of the dataset includes typical T-H examples that correspond to success and failure cases of such applications. The examples represent different levels of entailment reasoning, such as lexical, syntactic, morphological and logical.
