John Wieting
Carnegie Mellon University. First and corresponding author of paraphrastic-similarity-parallel-translations (with Kevin Gimpel, Graham Neubig and Taylor Berg-Kirkpatrick, ACL 2019), and the recurring name across the paraphrastic-embeddings line of work this paper builds on and against: the mega-batching hard-negative procedure and the 10,000-GPU-hour backtranslated paraphrase corpus it replaces are both his own earlier results, cited in this one as prior work being superseded.
