The Textual Entailment dataset contains 800 pairs of Italian sentences, extracted from Wikipedia, and annotated for the presence of textual entailment. A pair of texts consists of T (for text) and H (hypothesis). Textual entailment is defined as a directional relationship between such pairs. The hypothesis must be fully entailed by the text. The dataset has been created and used for the Textual Entailment Task (http://www.evalita.it/2009/tasks/te), organised as part of the EVALITA 2009 evaluation campaign (http://www.evalita.it/2009).

The development and test data each consist of 400 examples of pairs, equally divided into positive and negative examples.
