BERT achieved high accuracy in identifying paraphrase pairs by understanding contextual similarity rather than just matching words.
BERT’s bidirectional contextual embeddings allow it to compare semantic similarity between sentences. Fine-tuning on datasets like the Quora Question Pairs dataset enables BERT to detect paraphrases, which is critical for duplicate question detection, plagiarism detection, and semantic search. It captures nuanced meaning beyond simple lexical overlap.
💥 Impact (click to read)
Paraphrase detection improves content moderation, duplicate content identification, and semantic understanding in search engines.
For users, BERT can detect semantic equivalence between sentences, though it operates purely on statistical correlation rather than actual comprehension.
