# Natural Language Toolkit: RTE Corpus Reader # # Copyright (C) 2001-2012 NLTK Project # Author: Ewan Klein # URL: # For license information, see LICENSE.TXT """ Corpus reader for the Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) Challenge Corpora. The files were taken from the RTE1, RTE2 and RTE3 datasets and the files were regularized. Filenames are of the form rte*_dev.xml and rte*_test.xml. The latter are the gold standard annotated files. Each entailment corpus is a list of 'text'/'hypothesis' pairs. The following example is taken from RTE3:: The sale was made to pay Yukos' US$ 27.5 billion tax bill, Yuganskneftegaz was originally sold for US$ 9.4 billion to a little known company Baikalfinansgroup which was later bought by the Russian state-owned oil company Rosneft . Baikalfinansgroup was sold to Rosneft. In order to provide globally unique IDs for each pair, a new attribute ``challenge`` has been added to the root element ``entailment-corpus`` of each file, taking values 1, 2 or 3. The GID is formatted 'm-n', where 'm' is the challenge number and 'n' is the pair ID.
