Biology based alignments of paraphrases for sentence compression
João Cordeiro, Gaël Dias, Guillaume Cleuziou · 2007
In this paper, we present a study for extracting and aligning paraphrases in the context of Sentence Compression. First, we justify the application of a new measure for the automatic extraction of paraphrase corpora. Second, we discuss the work done by (Barzilay & Lee, 2003) who use clustering of paraphrases to induce rewriting rules. We will see, through classical visualization methodologies (Kruskal & Wish, 1977) and exhaustive experiments, that clustering may not be the best approach for automatic pattern identification. Finally, we will provide some results of different biology based methodologies for pairwise paraphrase alignment.
