Monolingual Alignment by Edit Rate Computation on Sentential Paraphrase Pairs
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a novel way of tackling the monolingual alignment problem on pairs of sentential paraphrases by means of edit rate computation. In order to inform the edit rate, information in the form of subsentential paraphrases is provided by a range of techniques built for different purposes. We show that the tunable TER-PLUS metric from Machine Translation evaluation can achieve good performance on this task and that it can effectively exploit information coming from complementary sources.

Unsupervised Construction of Large Paraphrase Corpora: Exploiting Massively Parallel News Sources
We investigate unsupervised techniques for acquiring monolingual sentence-level paraphrases from a corpus of temporally and topically clustered news articles collected from thousands of web-based news sources. Two techniques are employed: (1) simple string edit distance, and (2) a heuristic strategy that pairs initial (presumably summary) sentences from different news stories in the same cluste...
متن کاملSupport Vector Machines for Paraphrase Identification and Corpus Construction
The lack of readily-available large corpora of aligned monolingual sentence pairs is a major obstacle to the development of Statistical Machine Translation-based paraphrase models. In this paper, we describe the use of annotated datasets and Support Vector Machines to induce larger monolingual paraphrase corpora from a comparable corpus of news clusters found on the World Wide Web. Features inc...
متن کاملBuilding a Non-Trivial Paraphrase Corpus Using Multiple Machine Translation Systems
We propose a novel sentential paraphrase acquisition method. To build a wellbalanced corpus for Paraphrase Identification, we especially focus on acquiring both non-trivial positive and negative instances. We use multiple machine translation systems to generate positive candidates and a monolingual corpus to extract negative candidates. To collect nontrivial instances, the candidates are unifor...
متن کاملPARADIGM: Paraphrase Diagnostics through Grammar Matching
Paraphrase evaluation is typically done either manually or through indirect, taskbased evaluation. We introduce an intrinsic evaluation PARADIGM which measures the goodness of paraphrase collections that are represented using synchronous grammars. We formulate two measures that evaluate these paraphrase grammars using gold standard sentential paraphrases drawn from a monolingual parallel corpus...

Language variation, or the fact that messages can be conveyed in a great variety of ways by means of linguistic expressions, is one of the most challenging and certainly fascinating features of language for Natural Language Processing, with wide applications in language analysis and generation. The term paraphrase is now commonly used to refer to textual units of equivalent meaning, down to the...
