Abstract— In this work, web-based metrics for semantic similarity computation between words or terms are presented and compared with the state-of-the-art. Starting from the funda...
We present PEM, the first fully automatic metric to evaluate the quality of paraphrases, and consequently, that of paraphrase generation systems. Our metric is based on three crit...
We propose a new, simple model for the automatic induction of selectional preferences, using corpus-based semantic similarity metrics. Focusing on the task of semantic role labeli...
It is recognized that many evaluation metrics of machine translation in use that focus on surface word level suffer from their lack of tolerance of linguistic variance, and the in...
In this paper we study the interplay between metric and order completeness of semantic domains equipped with generalised distances. We prove that for bounded complete posets direct...
