"""
Corpus reader for the Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) Challenge Corpora.

The files were taken from the RTE1, RTE2 and RTE3 datasets and the files
were regularized.

Filenames are of the form rte*_dev.xml and rte*_test.xml. The latter are the
gold standard annotated files.

Each entailment corpus is a list of 'text'/'hypothesis' pairs. The following
example is taken from RTE3::

 <pair id="1" entailment="YES" task="IE" length="short" >

    <t>The sale was made to pay Yukos' US$ 27.5 billion tax bill,
    Yuganskneftegaz was originally sold for US$ 9.4 billion to a little known
    company Baikalfinansgroup which was later bought by the Russian
    state-owned oil company Rosneft .</t>

   <h>Baikalfinansgroup was sold to Rosneft.</h>
 </pair>

In order to provide globally unique IDs for each pair, a new attribute
``challenge`` has been added to the root element ``entailment-corpus`` of each
file, taking values 1, 2 or 3. The GID is formatted 'm-n', where 'm' is the
challenge number and 'n' is the pair ID.
