Fine-Grained Control over Paraphrase Generation
Abstract: A paraphrase involves rephrasing expressions in a sentence
while retaining its original meaning. Automatic paraphrasing finds
diverse applications, including data augmentation and aiding
computer-assisted language learning. In these contexts, precise and
fine-grained control over attributes like semantic diversity and
lexical choice is essential. This presentation will introduce our
recent research on controlled paraphrase generation.

started NLP research that continues to captivate me to this day. My
research interests focus on paraphrasing and NLP technology for
language education and healthcare.
