Abstract

See full text

A computer based natural language processing method for identifying paraphrases in corpora using statistical analysis comprises deriving a set of starting paraphrases (SPs) from a parallel corpus, each SP having at least two phrases that are phrase aligned; generating a set of paraphrase patterns (PPs) by identifying shared terms within two aligned phrases of an SP, and defining a PP having slots in place of the shared terms, in right hand side (RHS) and left hand side (LHS) expressions; and collecting output paraphrases (OPs) by identifying instances of the PPs in a non-parallel corpus. By using the reliably derived paraphrase information from a small parallel corpus to generate the PPs, and extending the range of instances of the PPs over the large non-parallel corpus, better coverage of the paraphrases in the language and fewer errors are encountered.
