Task: Question Answering
Input (English): MonaLog utilizes two auxiliary sets. First, a knowledge base ${K}$ that stores the world knowledge needed for inference, e.g., semanticist $\le $ linguist and swim $\le $ move, which captures the facts that $[\![\mbox{\em semanticist}]\!]$ denotes a subset of $[\![\mbox{\em linguist}]\!]$, and that $[\![\mbox{\em swim}]\!]$ denotes a subset of $[\![\mbox{\em move}]\!]$, respectively. Such world knowledge can be created manually for the problem at hand, or derived easily from existing resources such as WordNet BIBREF22. Note that we do not blindly add all relations from WordNet to our knowledge base, since this would hinge heavily on word sense disambiguation (we need to know whether the “bank” is a financial institution or a river bank to extract its relations correctly). In the current implementation, we avoid this by adding x $\le $ y or x $\perp $ y relations only if both x and y are words in the premise-hypothesis pair. Additionally, some relations that involve quantifiers and prepositions need to be hard-coded, since WordNet does not include them: every $=$ all $=$ each $\le $ most $\le $ many $\le $ a few $=$ several $\le $ some $=$ a; the $\le $ some $=$ a; on $\perp $ off; up $\perp $ down; etc. 
 Question: How do they select monotonicity facts?
Output (English): They derive it from Wordnet
