Leveraging Multiple MT Engines for Paraphrase Generation
This paper proposes a method that leverages multiple machine translation (MT) engines for paraphrase generation (PG). The method includes two stages. Firstly, we use a multi-pivot...

Paraphrase Alignment for Synonym Evidence Discovery
We describe a new unsupervised approach for synonymy discovery by aligning paraphrases in monolingual domain corpora. For that purpose, we identify phrasal terms that convey most ...

Extracting Paraphrases of Technical Terms from Noisy Parallel Software Corpora
In this paper, we study the problem of extracting technical paraphrases from a parallel software corpus, namely, a collection of duplicate bug reports. Paraphrase acquisition is a...

Paraphrase Identification as Probabilistic Quasi-Synchronous Recognition
We present a novel approach to deciding whether two sentences hold a paraphrase relationship. We employ a generative model that generates a paraphrase of a given sentence, and we ...

Paraphrase Lattice for Statistical Machine Translation
Lattice decoding in statistical machine translation (SMT) is useful in speech translation and in the translation of German because it can handle input ambiguities such as speech r...

Paraphrase Recognition via Dissimilarity Significance Classification
We propose a supervised, two-phase framework to address the problem of paraphrase recognition (PR). Unlike most PR systems that focus on sentence similarity, our framework detects...

Syntactic Constraints on Paraphrases Extracted from Parallel Corpora
We improve the quality of paraphrases extracted from parallel corpora by requiring that phrases and their paraphrases be the same syntactic type. This is achieved by parsing the E...

Learning Paraphrases from WNS Corpora
Paraphrase detection can be seen as the task of aligning sentences that convey the same information but yet are written in different forms. Such resources are important to automat...
