Natural Language Inference from Multiple Premises

Alice Lai, Yonatan Bisk, Julia Hockenmaier


Abstract
We define a novel textual entailment task that requires inference over multiple premise sentences. We present a new dataset for this task that minimizes trivial lexical inferences, emphasizes knowledge of everyday events, and presents a more challenging setting for textual entailment. We evaluate several strong neural baselines and analyze how the multiple premise task differs from standard textual entailment.
