We follow prior work on supervised lexical semantics (Mirkin et al., 2006;Hagiwara et al., 2009;Tremper, 2010) and address the rule learning task as a classification task.
given an ordered verb pair (v 1 , v 2 ) as input, we learn a classifier that detects whether the entailment relation 'v 1 → v 2 ' holds for this pair.
