A Probabilistic Model for Measuring Grammaticality and Similarity of Automatically Generated Paraphrases of Predicate Phrases

چکیده
The most critical issue in generating and recognizing paraphrases is development of wide-coverage paraphrase knowledge. Previous work on paraphrase acquisition has collected lexicalized pairs of expressions; however, the results do not ensure full coverage of the various paraphrase phenomena. This paper focuses on productive paraphrases realized by general transformation patterns, and addresses the issues in generating instances of phrasal paraphrases with those patterns. Our probabilistic model computes how two phrases are likely to be correct paraphrases. The model consists of two components: (i) a structured N -gram language model that ensures grammaticality and (ii) a distributional similarity measure for estimating semantic equivalence and substitutability.

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 and fluency. We collect a corpus of human judgements to evaluate our system. The ultimate goal of our work is to integrate text paraphrasing into a Linguistic Steganography system, by using paraphrases to hide informati...
متن کاملParaphrasing Revisited with Neural Machine Translation
Recognizing and generating paraphrases is an important component in many natural language processing applications. A wellestablished technique for automatically extracting paraphrases leverages bilingual corpora to find meaning-equivalent phrases in a single language by “pivoting” over a shared translation in another language. In this paper we revisit bilingual pivoting in the context of neural...
متن کاملComputing Paraphrasability of Syntactic Variants Using Web Snippets
In a broad range of natural language processing tasks, large-scale knowledge-base of paraphrases is anticipated to improve their performance. The key issue in creating such a resource is to establish a practical method of computing semantic equivalence and syntactic substitutability, i.e., paraphrasability, between given pair of expressions. This paper addresses the issues of computing paraphra...
متن کاملConstructing lexicons of relational phrases
Knowledge Bases are one of the key components of Natural Language Understanding systems. For example, DBpedia, YAGO, and Wikidata capture and organize knowledge about named entities and relations between them, which is often crucial for tasks like Question Answering and Named Entity Disambiguation. While Knowledge Bases have good coverage of prominent entities, they are often limited with respe...
متن کاملReranking Bilingually Extracted Paraphrases Using Monolingual Distributional Similarity
This paper improves an existing bilingual paraphrase extraction technique using monolingual distributional similarity to rerank candidate paraphrases. Raw monolingual data provides a complementary and orthogonal source of information that lessens the commonly observed errors in bilingual pivotbased methods. Our experiments reveal that monolingual scoring of bilingually extracted paraphrases has...
