“…the number of documents or the size in MB) ** These papers do not report the number of paraphrases extracted, or such a number does not exist in their approach Table 4: Comparison with the precision and paraphrases generated per input sentence (PPS) of relevant prior work While we wanted to show a meaningful comparison with another method from previous work, none of them do what we are doing here -extraction of sentence-size paraphrasal templates from a non-aligned corpus -and so a comparison using the same data would not be fair (and in most cases, not possible). While it seems that providing the results of human evaluation without comparison to prior methods is the norm in most relevant prior work (Ibrahim et al, 2003;Paşca and Dienes, 2005;Bannard and Callison-Burch, 2005;Fujita et al, 2012), we wanted to at least get some sense of where we stand in comparison to other methods, and so we provide a list of (not directly comparable) results reported by other authors in Table 4. 4 While it is impossible to meaningfully compare and rate such different methods, these numbers support the conclusion that our singlecorpus, domain-agnostic approach achieves a precision that is similar to or better than other methods.…”
