Simple and Effective Paraphrastic Similarity from Parallel Translations
We present a model and methodology for learning paraphrastic sentence embeddings directly from bitext, removing the time-consuming intermediate step of creating paraphrase corpora. Further, we show that the resulting model can be applied to cross-lingual tasks where it both outperforms and is orders of magnitude faster than more complex state-of-the-art baselines.

ParaNMT-50M: Pushing the Limits of Paraphrastic Sentence Embeddings with Millions of Machine Translations
We describe PARANMT-50M, a dataset of more than 50 million English-English sentential paraphrase pairs. We generated the pairs automatically by using neural machine translation to translate the non-English side of a larg…
