Dataset Description

Dataset Summary

We present the Extended Paraphrase Typology (EPT) and the Extended Typology Paraphrase Corpus (ETPC). The EPT typology addresses several practical limitations of existing paraphrase typologies: it is the first typology that copes with the non-paraphrase pairs in the paraphrase identification corpora and distinguishes between contextual and habitual paraphrase types. ETPC is the largest corpus to date annotated with atomic paraphrase types. It is the first corpus with detailed annotation of both the paraphrase and the non-paraphrase pairs and the first corpus annotated with paraphrase and negation. Both new resources contribute to better understanding the paraphrase phenomenon, and allow for studying the relationship between paraphrasing and negation. To the developers of Paraphrase Identification systems ETPC corpus offers better means for evaluation and error analysis. Furthermore, the EPT typology and ETPC corpus emphasize the relationship with other areas of NLP such as Semantic Similarity, Textual Entailment, Summarization and Simplification.

    abstract = "Current approaches in paraphrase generation and detection heavily rely on a single general similarity score, ignoring the intricate linguistic properties of language. This paper introduces two new tasks to address this shortcoming by considering paraphrase types - specific linguistic perturbations at particular text positions. We name these tasks Paraphrase Type Generation and Paraphrase Type Detection. Our results suggest that while current techniques perform well in a binary classification scenario, i.e., paraphrased or not, the inclusion of fine-grained paraphrase types poses a significant challenge. While most approaches are good at generating and detecting general semantic similar content, they fail to understand the intrinsic linguistic variables they manipulate. Models trained in generating and identifying paraphrase types also show improvements in tasks without them. In addition, scaling these models further improves their ability to understand paraphrase types. We believe paraphrase types can unlock a new paradigm for developing paraphrase models and solving tasks in the future."
