"text": "Yet, some NLP tasks such as textual entailment recognition (Dagan and Glickman, 2004; and some linguistic theories such as HPSG (Pollard and Sag, 1994 ) require more general graphs and, then, more general algorithms for computing similarity among graphs. Unfortunately, algorithms for computing similarity among two general graphs in term of common subgraphs are still exponential (Ramon and G\u00e4rtner, 2003) . In these cases, approximated algorithms have been proposed. For example, the one proposed in (G\u00e4rtner, 2003) counts the number of subpaths in common. The same happens for the one proposed in (Suzuki et al., 2003) that is applicable to a particular class of graphs, i.e. the hierarchical directed acyclic graphs. These algorithms do not compute the number of subgraphs in common between two graphs. Then, these algorithms approximate the feature spaces we need in these NLP tasks. For computing similarities in these feature spaces, we have to investigate if we can define a particular class of graphs for the class of tasks we want to solve. Once we focused the class of graph, we can explore efficient similarity algorithms.",

"text": "A very important class of graphs can be defined for tasks involving sentence pairs. In these cases, an important class of feature spaces is the one that represents first-order rewrite rules. For example, in textual entailment recognition , we need to determine whether a text T implies a hypothesis H, e.g., whether or not \"Farmers feed cows animal extracts\" entails \"Cows eat animal extracts\" (T 1 , H 1 ). If we want to learn textual entailment classifiers, we need to exploit first-order rules hidden in training instances. To positively exploit the training instance \"Pediatricians suggest women to feed newborns breast milk\" entails \"Pediatricians suggest that newborns eat breast milk\" (T 2 , H 2 ) for classifying the above example, learning algorithms should learn that the two instances hide the first-order rule \u03c1 = f eed Y Z \u2192 Y eat Z . The first-order rule feature space, introduced by (Zanzotto and Moschitti, 2006) , gives high performances in term of accuracy for textual entailment recognition with respect to other features spaces.",

"text": "As first step, we want to define the tripartite directed acyclic graphs (tDAGs). This is an extremely important class of graphs for the firstorder rule feature spaces we want to model. We want here to intuitively show that, if we model first-order rules and sentence pairs as tDAGs, determining whether or not a sentence pair can be unified with a first-order rewrite rule is a graph matching problem. This intuitive idea helps in determining our efficient algorithm for exploiting first-order rules in learning examples. To illustrate the above idea we will use an example based on the above rule \u03c1= f eed Y Z \u2192 Y eat Z and the above sentence pair (T 1 , H 1 ). The rule \u03c1 encodes the entailment relation of the verb to feed and the verb to eat. If represented over a syntactic interpretation, the rule has the following aspect:",

"text": "As in the case of feature structures (Carpenter, 1992) , we can observe this rule as a graph. As we are not interested in the variable names but we need to know the relation between the right hand side and the left hand side of the rule, we can substitute each variable with an unlabelled node. We then connect tree nodes having variables with the corresponding unlabelled node. The result is a graph as the one in Fig. 1 . The variables Y and Z are represented by the unlabelled nodes between the trees. In the same way we can represent the sentence pair (T 1 , H 1 ) using graph with explicit links between related words and nodes (see Fig. 2 ). We can link words using anchoring methods as in (Raina et al., 2005) . These links can then be propagated in the syntactic tree using semantic heads of the constituents (Pollard and Sag, 1994) . The rule \u03c1 1 matches over the pair (T 1 , H 1 ) if the graph \u03c1 1 is among the subgraphs of the graph in Fig. 2 .",

In Sec. 4.1, we firstly define the similarity function, i.e., the kernel K(G 1 , G 2 ), that we need to determine for correctly using first-order rules feature spaces. This kernel is strongly based on the isomorphism between graphs.

Our algorithm is in principle exponential with respect to the set of alternative constraints C.

Following the theory on the average-cost computational complexity (Wang, 1997) , we estimated the behavior of the algorithms on a large distribution of cases. We then compared the computing times of the two algorithms. Finally, as K and K max compute slightly different kernels, we compare the accuracy of the two methods. We implemented both algorithms K(G 1 , G 2 ) and K max (G 1 , G 2 ) in support vector machine classifier (Joachims, 1999) and we experimented with both implementations on the same machine.

Then, in the first experiment we want to determine the relation between the computational time and the factor n\u00d7m. Results are reported in Fig. 7 where the computation times are plotted with respect to n \u00d7 m. Each point in the curve represents the average execution time for the pairs of instances having n \u00d7 m placeholders.

We then have RTE2 with 1 placeholder at most in each pair, RTE2 with 2 placeholders, etc. The number of pairs in each set is the same. What changes is the maximal number of placeholders. Results are reported in Fig. 8 where the execution time of the training phase in seconds (s) is plotted for each different set. We see that the computation of K max is exponential with respect to the number of placeholders and it becomes intractable after 7 placeholders. The computation of K is instead more flat. This can be explained as the computation of K is related to the real alternative constraints that appears in the dataset. The computation of the kernel K then outperforms the computation of the kernel K max .",

The results are reported in Tab. 1. As the table shows, the accuracy of K is higher than the accuracy of K max . There are two main reasons. The first is that K max is an approximation of K.
