Vicinity-Driven Paragraph and Sentence Alignment for Comparable Corpora

Abstract

Parallel corpora have driven great progress in the field of Text Simplification. However, most sentence alignment algorithms either offer a limited range of alignment types supported, or simply ignore valuable clues present in comparable documents. We address this problem by introducing a new set of flexible vicinity-driven paragraph and sentence alignment algorithms that 1-N, N-1, N-N and long distance null alignments without the need for hard-to-replicate supervised models.
