iSTART: Paraphrase Recognition
نویسنده
چکیده
Paraphrase recognition is used in a number of applications such as tutoring systems, question answering systems, and information retrieval systems. The context of our research is the iSTART reading strategy trainer for science texts, which needs to understand and recognize the trainee’s input and respond appropriately. This paper describes the motivation for paraphrase recognition and develops a definition of the strategy as well as a recognition model for paraphrasing. Lastly, we discuss our preliminary implementation and research plan.

متن کاملInteractive Paraphrase Training: The Development and Testing of an iSTART Module
Comprehension of science texts is challenging, particularly when the reader lacks the skills or knowledge necessary to fill in conceptual gaps in the text content. The iSTART system was developed to help readers learn and practice reading strategies to improve their ability to comprehend challenging text. This study describes a new iSTART module recently developed and tested, called Interactive...
متن کاملAssessing Forward-, Reverse-, and Average-Entailer Indices on Natural Language Input from the Intelligent Tutoring System, iSTART
This study reports on an experiment that analyzes a variety of entailment evaluations provided by a lexico-syntactic tool, the Entailer. The environment for these analyses is from a corpus of self-explanations taken from the Intelligent Tutoring System, iSTART. The purpose of this study is to examine how evaluations of hand-coded entailment, paraphrase, and elaboration compare to various evalua...
متن کاملAssessing Entailer with a Corpus of Natural Language from an Intelligent Tutoring System
In this study, we compared Entailer, a computational tool that evaluates the degree to which one text is entailed by another, to a variety of other text relatedness metrics (LSA, lemma overlap, and MED). Our corpus was a subset of 100 self-explanations of sentences from a recent experiment on interactions between students and iSTART, an Intelligent Tutoring System that helps students to apply m...
متن کاملDiversity-aware Evaluation for Paraphrase Patterns
Common evaluation metrics for paraphrase patterns do not necessarily correlate with extrinsic recognition task performance. We propose a metric which gives weight to lexical variety in paraphrase patterns; our proposed metric has a positive correlation with paraphrase recognition task performance, with a Pearson correlation of 0.5~0.7 (k=10, with “strict” judgment) in a statistically significan...
