Zia Ul-Qayyum and Wasif Altaf, 2012. Paraphrase Identification using Semantic Heuristic Features.  Research Journal of Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology, 4(22): 4894-4904.

Paraphrase Identification (PI) problem is to classify that whether or not two sentences are close enough in meaning to be termed as paraphrases. PI is an important research dimension with practical applications in Information Extraction (IE), Machine Translation, Information Retrieval, Automatic Identification of Copyright Infringement, Question Answering Systems and Intelligent Tutoring Systems, to name a few. This study presents a novel approach of paraphrase identification using semantic heuristic features envisaging improving the accuracy compared to state-of-the-art PI systems. Finally, a comprehensive critical analysis of misclassifications is carried out to provide insightful evidence about the proposed approach and the corpora used in the experiments.

a bit late but another phase starts - my first paper ever!

Paraphrase Identification: Current State of the Art

 

By: Zia Ul-Qayyum (Corresponding Author), Muhammad Aslam, Wasif Altaf, Muhammad Ramzan

Paraphrasing generally may be done at various levels like at word, sentence, paragraph or discourse level. However, from NLP perspective, research issues related to paraphrasing include paraphrase generation, paraphrase acquisition and paraphrase identification. Paraphrase identification (PI) is an important research dimension having practical implementations which are of paramount importance in application domain like Information Retrieval, Automatic Identification of Copyright Infringement, Question Answering, Natural Language Generation, Modelling Language Perception in an Intelligent Agent and Intelligent Tutoring Systems etc. PI has been approached previously by various lexical, syntactic, semantic and hybrid techniques. Moreover, machine learning approaches have also been used. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of this important research domain along with a review of prevalent techniques being employed to address the PI problem.

"THE ARRIVALS"

It is a lengthy series, I would like to spend same time in learning Quran rather. After-all "THE ARRIVALS" is just a documentary and creation of human mind. It might be "good-enough", I do not know about that, but surely it can not be truer than Quran. Quran just seems a dream to me sometimes, life on this earth is very different. I can not lose hope anyway, I believe that Allah can change the situations very well, and if, He wills He will. Keep praying!

"Imam Mehdi (A.S) aur Hazrat Issa (A.S)"

This is a very good philosophy indeed! Like all of you, I believe in this concept as well. But with an extension that in this world we have to act and do something good as well. Not just sit and think and believe and wait that things are not going to be fine untill "Imam Mehdi (A.S) aur Hazrat Issa (A.S)" appear! This is guidance that I have understood that Quran provides us, to live good life in world and the hereafter, not just at personal level, but at a wholesome level of Humanity.

Silence is better for Pornistan, instead of once dreamed "Pakistan". Alas!
