Bilingual Parallel Corpora

Previous work has used monolingual par- allel corpora to extract and generate para- phrases. We show that this task can be done using bilingual parallel corpora, a much more commonly …...

Paraphrase patterns are useful in paraphrase recognition and generation. In this paper, we present a pivot approach for extracting para- phrase patterns from bilingual parallel cor- pora, whereby the English …...

We present a random-walk-based approach to learning paraphrases from bilingual parallel corpora. The corpora are represented as a graph in which a node corresponds to a phrase, and an edge …...

This paper explores the use of bilingual par- allel corpora as a source of lexical knowl- edge for cross-lingual textual entailment. We claim that, in spite of the inherent difficul- …...

This paper presents a paraphrase acquisition method that uncovers and exploits generali- ties underlying paraphrases: paraphrase pat- terns are first induced and then used to col- lect novel instances. Unlike …...

We present the 1.0 release of our para- phrase database, PPDB. Its English portion, PPDB:Eng, contains over 220 million para- phrase pairs, consisting of 73 million phrasal and 8 million …...

AbstractWe present a large scale study of the languages spoken by bilingual workers on Mechanical Turk (MTurk). We establish a methodology for determining the language skills of anonymous crowd workers …...

AbstractThis work investigates neural machine translation (NMT) systems for translating English user reviews into Croatian and Serbian, two similar morphologically complex languages. Two types of reviews are used for testing …...

AbstractMultiword Expressions (MWEs) have been a bottleneck for Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and Natural Language Generation (NLG) tasks due to their idiomaticity, ambiguity, and non-compositionality. Bilingual parallel corpora introducing MWE …...
