Paraphrase

This paper presents ECOLE, a look-ahead text editor that supports authors writing seemingly informal specifications in PENG, a computer-processable controlled natural language. ECOLE communicates via a socket interface with the …...

: In this paper we will discuss the Auto-extraction of paraphrases of letter-word phrases in live Chinese texts. The paper discusses the modes of conventional dictionaries firstly, and then gives …...

AbstractWe propose and evaluate a new paradigm for machine translation of low resource languages via the learned surface transduction and paraphrase of multilingual glosses....

AbstractParaphrases are alternative syntactic forms in the same language expressing the same semantic content. Speakers of all languages are inherently familiar with paraphrases at different levels of granularity (lexical, phrasal, …...

First story detection (FSD) involves identify- ing first stories about events from a continuous stream of documents. A major problem in this task is the high degree of lexical variation …...

. The medical area conveys very specific terms (p. ex., blepharospasm, appendicec- tomy), which are difficult to understand by people without medical training. We propose an au- tomatic method for …...

Digital personal assistants are becoming both more common and more useful. The major NLP challenge for personal assis- tants is machine understanding: translat- ing natural language user commands into an …...

AbstractQuestion answering (QA) systems are sensitive to the many different ways natural language expresses the same information need. In this paper we turn to paraphrases as a means of capturing …...

AbstractParaphrases exist on different granularity levels, the most frequently used one being the sentential level. However, we argue that working on the sentential level is not optimal for both machines …...

Complex nominals (CNs) (e.g. wind turbine) are very common in English specialized texts (Nakov, 2013). However, all too frequently they show similar external forms but encode different semantic relations because …...

AbstractThe prior work on natural language inference (NLI) debiasing mainly targets at one or few known biases while not necessarily making the models more robust. In this paper, we focus …...

AbstractParaphrases refer to texts that convey the same meaning with different expression forms. Pivot-based methods, also known as the round-trip translation, have shown promising results in generating high-quality paraphrases. However, …...
