  • source: Microsoft Research Paraphrase Corpus (MSRP)
  • task: given a pair of sentences, classify them as paraphrases or not paraphrases
  • see: Dolan et al. (2004)
  • train: 4,076 sentence pairs (2,753 positive: 67.5%)
  • test: 1,725 sentence pairs (1,147 positive: 66.5%)


Sample data

  • Sentence 1: Amrozi accused his brother, whom he called "the witness", of deliberately distorting his evidence.
  • Sentence 2: Referring to him as only "the witness", Amrozi accused his brother of deliberately distorting his evidence.
  • Class: 1 (true paraphrase)


Table of results

  • Listed in order of increasing F score.
