AUTOMATIC PARAPHRASING IN ESSAY FORMAT

Abstract

This report describes an operating computer program that accepts as input an essay of up to 300 words in length, and yields as output an essay type paraphrase that is a nonredundant summary of the content of the source text. Although no transformations are used, the content of several sentences in the input text may be combined into a sentence in the output. The format of the output essay may be varied by adjustment of program parameters, and the system occasionally inserts subject or object pronouns in its paraphrases to avoid repetitious style.
