Taking this route sets up a dual goal: (a) from the generic paraphrasing perspective - an objective evaluation of paraphrase acquisition performance on a concrete application dataset, as well as identifying the additional mechanisms needed to match paraphrases in texts; (b) from the RE perspective investigating the feasibility and performance of a generic paraphrase-based approach for RE. Our configuration assumes a set of entailing templates (non-symmetric “paraphrases”) for the target relation. For example, for the target relation “X interact with Y” we would assume a set of entailing templates as in Tables 3 and 7. .
