[Corpora-List] English-language paraphrase corpora

[Jayeeta Banerjee]

Olga,

We have developed an automated system called SHARES  (System of Hypermatrix Analysis, Retrieval, Evaluation and Summarisation) that clusters related documents in a general news corpus and ranks them in order of similarity, by a method developed out of past work, including lexical cohesion. SHARES identifies topic at a series of levels, and is more linguistically refined in its approach than some other systems. There is a small demo online at www.rdues.uce.ac.uk/sharesguide/  and a user guide. Such clustering techniques can be used on a pair of general corpora from different sources to extract the kind of sets you are interested in.

Yours

Jay

	Dear All, 

	I am looking for English-language "comparable" corpora. I.e. I want, 
	e.g., 2 collections of articles from different sources describing same events. 

	Alternatively, would anyone know off-hand how one would go about 
	constructing such comparable collections? 

	(This is to be used for automatic paraphrasing.) 

	Any pointers greatly appreciated,
