In instancebased judgment, an annotator judges a pair of relational patterns whose variable slots are filled with the same entity pair.
he or she does not make a judgment for a pair of relational patterns with variables, "X prevent Y" and "X reduce the risk of Y", but two instantiated statements "Cephalexin prevent the bacteria" and "Cephalexin reduce the risk of the bacteria" ("X = Cephalexin, Y = the bacteria").
