Automatic Paraphrase Acquisition from News Articles

چکیده
Paraphrases play an important role in the variety and complexity of natural language documents. However they adds to the difficulty of natural language processing. Here we describe a procedure for obtaining paraphrases from news article. A set of paraphrases can be useful for various kinds of applications. Articles derived from different newspapers can contain paraphrases if they report the same event of the same day. We exploit this feature by using Named Entity recognition. Our basic approach is based on the assumption that Named Entities are preserved across paraphrases. We applied our method to articles of two domains and obtained notable examples. Although this is our initial attempt to automatically extracting paraphrases from a corpus, the results are promising.

A contrastive review of paraphrase acquisition techniques
This paper addresses the issue of what approach should be used for building a corpus of sentential paraphrases depending on one’s requirements. Six strategies are studied: (1) multiple translations into a single language from another language; (2) multiple translations into a single language from different other languages; (3) multiple descriptions of short videos; (4) multiple subtitles for th...
متن کاملLearning Paraphrase Models from Google New Headlines
Data sources like the clusters of news headlines at Google News present an exciting opportunity to learn paraphrase models from data automatically. We present both a novel dataset and a novel approach to automatic, unsupervised learning of paraphrase models from that datset. Leveraging existing NLP tools such as the Stanford Parser and lexical resources such as WordNet and Infomap, we construct...
متن کاملParaphrase Acquisition for Information Extraction
We are trying to find paraphrases from Japanese news articles which can be used for Information Extraction. We focused on the fact that a single event can be reported in more than one article in different ways. However, certain kinds of noun phrases such as names, dates and numbers behave as “anchors” which are unlikely to change across articles. Our key idea is to identify these anchors among ...

متن کاملUsing Repeated Patterns across Comparable Articles for Paraphrase Acquisition
We focus on paraphrases for information extraction: expressions which should produce the same extraction output. These expressions are acquired automatically from comparable news articles (articles from the same day, on the same topic). Candidate paraphrases are paths in predicate argument structure starting from matching anchors (typically, names) in the two sentences. By using such syntactica...
