Challenge: Recent deep learning entailment systems have achieved close to human level performance on large datasets, but the problem is far from solved.
Approach: They propose a knowledge-guided adversarial example generator for incorporating large lexical resources into entailment models via only a handful of rule templates and a natural language example generator that iteratively adjusts to the discriminator’s weaknesses.
Outcome: The proposed methods increase accuracy by 4.7% on SciTail and 2.8% on a 1% sub-sample of SNLI.
