Simple and Effective Paraphrastic Similarity from Parallel Translations
John Wieting, Kevin Gimpel, Graham Neubig, Taylor Berg-Kirkpatrick · 2019
We present a model and methodology for learning paraphrastic sentence embeddings directly from bitext, removing the timeconsuming intermediate step of creating paraphrase corpora.Further, we show that the resulting model can be applied to cross-lingual tasks where it both outperforms and is orders of magnitude faster than more complex stateof-the-art baselines.1
