Summary on Grant Application Form
This work proposes experiments to find a satisfactory algorithm to determine, of pairs of short texts, if one is a rewrite of the other, within some likelihood. The work is part of a general program of content extraction from text, but a quite separate venture, using novel methods on sparse long n-grams of words. It will be tested against newspaper articles, hand coded for derivation as a gold standard , which will be of immediate interest to the Press Association, although the technique, if successful, will be of very wide application.
