Joint Learning of a Dual SMT System for Paraphrase Generation
SMT has been used in paraphrase generation by translating a source sentence into another (pivot) language and then back into the source. The resulting sentences can be used as can...

Computational Considerations in Correcting User-Language
1 This study evaluates the robustness of established computational indices used to assess text relatedness in userlanguage. The original User-Language Paraphrase Corpus (ULPC) was ...

Computational Replication of Human Paraphrase Assessment
1 Two sentences are paraphrases if their meanings are equivalent but their words and syntax are different. Paraphrasing can be used to aid comprehension, stimulate prior knowledge,...

Application-driven Statistical Paraphrase Generation
Paraphrase generation (PG) is important in plenty of NLP applications. However, the research of PG is far from enough. In this paper, we propose a novel method for statistical par...

Source-Language Entailment Modeling for Translating Unknown Terms
This paper addresses the task of handling unknown terms in SMT. We propose using source-language monolingual models and resources to paraphrase the source text prior to translatio...

Hitting the Right Paraphrases in Good Time
We present a random-walk-based approach to learning paraphrases from bilingual parallel corpora. The corpora are represented as a graph in which a node corresponds to a phrase, an...

Linguistic Steganography Using Automatically Generated Paraphrases
This paper describes a method for checking the acceptability of paraphrases in context. We use the Google n-gram data and a CCG parser to certify the paraphrasing grammaticality a...

A Probabilistic Model for Measuring Grammaticality and Similarity of Automatically Generated Paraphrases of Predicate Phrases
The most critical issue in generating and recognizing paraphrases is development of wide-coverage paraphrase knowledge. Previous work on paraphrase acquisition has collected lexic...

Lexical Query Paraphrasing for Document Retrieval
We describe a mechanism for the generation of lexical paraphrases of queries posed to an Internet resource. These paraphrases are generated using WordNet and part-of-speech inform...
