It facilitates a tiered comparison strategy where recall-oriented global optimal and local greedy searches for paraphrase matching are enabled in the top tiers. We utilize a domain independent paraphrase table extracted from a large bilingual parallel corpus using methods from Machine Translation (MT). We show that the quality of ParaEval’s evaluations, measured by correlating with human judgments, closely resembles that of ROUGE’s.}, publisher = {Association for Computational Linguistics}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/paraeval-using-paraphrases-to-evaluate-summaries-automatically/}, }
