Joint Learning of a Dual SMT System for Paraphrase Generation
SMT has been used in paraphrase generation by translating a source sentence into another (pivot) language and then back into the source. The resulting sentences can be used as can...

Improving Word Representations via Global Context and Multiple Word Prototypes
Unsupervised word representations are very useful in NLP tasks both as inputs to learning algorithms and as extra word features in NLP systems. However, most of these models are b...

Domain bias in web search
This paper uncovers a new phenomenon in web search that we call domain bias — a user’s propensity to believe that a page is more relevant just because it comes from a particul...

Evaluating Semantic Metrics on Tasks of Concept Similarity
This study presents an evaluation of WordNet-based semantic similarity and relatedness measures in tasks focused on concept similarity. Assuming similarity as distinct from relate...

Collecting Highly Parallel Data for Paraphrase Evaluation
A lack of standard datasets and evaluation metrics has prevented the field of paraphrasing from making the kind of rapid progress enjoyed by the machine translation community ove...

The Best Lexical Metric for Phrase-Based Statistical MT System Optimization
Translation systems are generally trained to optimize BLEU, but many alternative metrics are available. We explore how optimizing toward various automatic evaluation metrics (BLEU...

Source-Language Features and Maximum Correlation Training for Machine Translation Evaluation
We propose three new features for MT evaluation: source-sentence constrained n-gram precision, source-sentence reordering metrics, and discriminative unigram precision, as well as...

The Significance of Recall in Automatic Metrics for MT Evaluation
Recent research has shown that a balanced harmonic mean (F1 measure) of unigram precision and recall outperforms the widely used BLEU and NIST metrics for Machine Translation evalu...
