I sent this to [email protected] and it bounced.

I'm trying to understand the behavior of Joshua English Paraphrase (apache-joshua-ppdb-2.0-s-all-v1) on this input:

I like cheddar cheese.

The top 10 paraphrases returned are:

I felt cheddar cheese.
I prefers cheddar cheese.
I considered cheddar cheese.
I lay cheddar cheese.
I feels cheddar cheese.
I appreciates cheddar cheese.
I wants cheddar cheese.
I includes cheddar cheese.
I enjoys cheddar cheese.
I wanted cheddar cheese.
I reaffirms cheddar cheese.
I pleased cheddar cheese.
I like cheddar cheese.

Some observations

1. Only the verb is changed. It seems that cheddar cheese -> cheese without much loss of information.

2. S/V agreement is not enforced in all cases. This is surprising.

I would like to better understand how to address 1 and 2.

Suggestions appreciated.

Best,

-Andrew
