- Automatic Acquisition of Inference Rules (Lin&Pantel 2001)
- Supporting Inference in Context: Word-Sense specific similarity (Mitchell&Lapata 2008, Erk&Pado 2008,Dinu&Wang 2009, Wang&Neumann 2007)
- Inference as Directional Similarity (Bhagat et al. 2007, Geffet&Dagan 2005, Weeds&Weir 2003, Pantel et al. 2007)
II. Enhancing shallow methods with structured lexical knowledge (LEX)
- Lexical knowledge for inference (Moldovan et al. 2003, Tatu et al. 2006)
- Frame-semantic information for textual inference (Burchardt et al. 2005, Burchardt&Frank 2006, Burchardt et al. 2008)
III. Adapting logical approaches for textual inference (LOG)
- Computing and exploiting polarity information (Nairn et al. 2006)
- Natural Logic (MacCartney&Manning 2007, MacCartney&Manning 2009)
- Abductive Reasoning (Hobbs et al. 1988, Hobbs et al. 1993, Raina et al. 2005)
