Modality Expressions in Japanese and Their Automatic Paraphrasing
It is important for future NLP systems to formulate the semantic equivalence (and more generally, the semantic similarity) of natural language expressions. In particular, paraphrasing, full text information retrieval, example-based MT and document compression technology require the effective equivalence criterion for linguistic expressions. In this paper, first, we discuss the meaning of Japane...
متن کاملAutomatic Paraphrasing of Japanese Functional Expressions Using a Hierarchically Organized Dictionary
Automatic paraphrasing is a transformation of expressions into semantically equivalent expressions within one language. For generating a wider variety of phrasal paraphrases in Japanese, it is necessary to paraphrase functional expressions as well as content expressions. We propose a method of paraphrasing of Japanese functional expressions using a dictionary with two hierarchies: a morphologic...
متن کاملStandardizing Complex Functional Expressions in Japanese Predicates: Applying Theoretically-Based Paraphrasing Rules
In order to accomplish the deep semantic understanding of a language, it is essential to analyze the meaning of predicate phrases, a content word plus functional expressions. In agglutinating languages such as Japanese, however, sentential predicates are multi-morpheme expressions and all the functional expressions including those unnecessary to the meaning of the predicate are merged into one ...
متن کاملParaphrasing for Style
We present initial investigation into the task of paraphrasing language while targeting a particular writing style. The plays of William Shakespeare and their modern translations are used as a testbed for evaluating paraphrase systems targeting a specific style of writing. We show that even with a relatively small amount of parallel training data, it is possible to learn paraphrase models which...
متن کاملParaphrasing Rules for Automatic Evaluation of Translation into Japanese
Automatic evaluation of translation quality has proved to be useful when the target language is English. In this paper the evaluation of translation into Japanese is studied. An existing method based on n-gram similarity between translations and reference sentences is difficult to apply to the evaluation of Japanese because of the agglutinativeness and variation of semantically similar expressi...
