| Challenge: | Recent research on textual entailment is limited to English, but it is expanding to other languages. |
| Approach: | They propose to extend the research in SNLI-style natural language inference toward multilingual evaluation by using cross-lingual word embeddings and machine translation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system scores an average accuracy of just over 75%, but it is not perfect. |
