Semantic Paraphraser™
Meaning-Preserving Sentence Rewrite Engine
Semantic Paraphraser™ is a linguistically-grounded rewrite engine that restructures sentences while guaranteeing semantic fidelity. Unlike naive synonym replacement, it analyzes syntactic role of each word, cross-references semantic similarity (cosine similarity ≥ 0.82 threshold), and generates fluent paraphrases that preserve meaning with up to 70% lexical change.
How It Works
Syntactic Role Analysis
Parses each sentence's dependency tree to identify subject, verb, object, and modifier roles. This prevents paraphrases that accidentally change meaning by substituting a key noun in subject position with a synonym that doesn't fit the role.
Semantic Similarity Guard
For every candidate substitution, computes cosine similarity between original and candidate phrase using pre-computed word embeddings. Only substitutions with similarity ≥ 0.82 are accepted.
Structural Transformation
Applies sentence-level structural transforms: active↔passive voice conversion, fronting (moving adverbials to sentence start), clause splitting, and coordination restructuring — changing sentence shape while preserving meaning.
Collocation Validation
Validates multi-word outputs against collocation databases to ensure the paraphrased phrase is natural (e.g., "execute a plan" not "perform a plan"). Uses language-specific collocation tables with 250k+ entries per language.
