USAAR-SHEFFIELD: Semantic Textual Similarity with Deep Regression and Machine Translation Evaluation Metrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the USAARSHEFFIELD systems that participated in the Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) English task of SemEval-2015. We extend the work on using machine translation evaluation metrics in the STS task. Different from previous approaches, we regard the metrics’ robustness across different text types and conflate the training data across different subcorpora. In addition, we introduce a novel deep regressor architecture and evaluated its efficiency in the STS task.

FBK: Machine Translation Evaluation and Word Similarity metrics for Semantic Textual Similarity
This paper describes the participation of FBK in the Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) task organized within Semeval 2012. Our approach explores lexical, syntactic and semantic machine translation evaluation metrics combined with distributional and knowledgebased word similarity metrics. Our best model achieves 60.77% correlation with human judgements (Mean score) and ranked 20 out of 88 submit...
متن کاملLearning the Impact of Machine Translation Evaluation Metrics for Semantic Textual Similarity
We present a work to evaluate the hypothesis that automatic evaluation metrics developed for Machine Translation (MT) systems have significant impact on predicting semantic similarity scores in Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) task for English, in light of their usage for paraphrase identification. We show that different metrics may have different behaviors and significance along the semantic ...
متن کاملThe Correlation of Machine Translation Evaluation Metrics with Human Judgement on Persian Language
Machine Translation Evaluation Metrics (MTEMs) are the central core of Machine Translation (MT) engines as they are developed based on frequent evaluation. Although MTEMs are widespread today, their validity and quality for many languages is still under question. The aim of this research study was to examine the validity and assess the quality of MTEMs from Lexical Similarity set on machine tra...
متن کاملMachine Translation Evaluation with Textual Entailment Features
We present two regression models for the prediction of pairwise preference judgments among MT hypotheses. Both models are based on feature sets that are motivated by textual entailment and incorporate lexical similarity as well as local syntactic features and specific semantic phenomena. One model predicts absolute scores; the other one direct pairwise judgments. We find that both models are co...
