## Papers

1. **[ParaAMR: A Large-Scale Syntactically Diverse Paraphrase Dataset by AMR Back-Translation](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/huang-2023-paraamr-large-scale-syntactically-diverse/)** *(2023)* ParaAMR builds about 15 million paraphrase pairs by AMR back-translation. Each source sentence is parsed to an AMR graph; a different node is chosen as the focus (the main assertion); the modified graph is linearised and a sentence is generated from it. Candidates with high perplexity under a language model are…
2. **[Unsupervised Syntactically Controlled Paraphrase Generation with Abstract Meaning Representations](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/huang-2022-unsupervised-syntactically-controlled-paraphrase-generation/)** *(2022)* AMRPG generates a paraphrase that follows a requested syntactic form without any paraphrase pairs. It encodes the input twice: an AMR graph gives a semantic embedding, and the constituency parse gives a syntactic embedding. A decoder learns to reconstruct the input from the two. At test time the syntactic embedding…
