The first is an AMT crowd source task in which\nspeakers rank metaphor paraphrase candidate sentence pairs in short document\ncontexts for paraphrase aptness. In the second we train a composite DNN to\npredict these human judgments, first in binary classifier mode, and then as\ngradient ratings. We found that for both mean human judgments and our DNN's\npredictions, adding document context compresses the aptness scores towards the\ncenter of the scale, raising low out of context ratings and decreasing high out\nof context scores. We offer a provisional explanation for this compression\neffect.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1809.01060v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1809.01060v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"the-effect-of-context-on-metaphor-paraphrase","repo_url":"https://github.com/yuri-bizzoni/Metaphor-Paraphrase","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"sentence","task_name":"Sentence"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
