Paraphrase Generation as Zero-Shot Multilingual Translation: Disentangling Semantic Similarity from Lexical and Syntactic Diversity
Brian Thompson, Matt Post
Recent work has shown that a multilingual neural machine translation (NMT) model can be used to judge how well a sentence paraphrases another sentence in the same language (Thompso…
A Study in Improving BLEU Reference Coverage with Diverse Automatic Paraphrasing
Rachel Bawden, Biao Zhang, Lisa Yankovskaya +2
We investigate a long-perceived shortcoming in the typical use of BLEU: its reliance on a single reference. Using modern neural paraphrasing techniques, we study whether automatica…
Automatic Machine Translation Evaluation in Many Languages via Zero-Shot Paraphrasing
Brian Thompson, Matt Post
We frame the task of machine translation evaluation as one of scoring machine translation output with a sequence-to-sequence paraphraser, conditioned on a human reference. We propo…
Simulated Multiple Reference Training Improves Low-Resource Machine Translation
Huda Khayrallah, Brian Thompson, Matt Post +1
Many valid translations exist for a given sentence, yet machine translation (MT) is trained with a single reference translation, exacerbating data sparsity in low-resource settings…
