• Abstract summary: This paper introduces a large-scale high quality annotated Chinese Metaphor Corpus, which comprises around 28K sentences. To ensure the accuracy and consistency of our annotations, we introduce a comprehensive set of guidelines. Breaking tradition, our approach to metaphor generation emphasizes grounds and their distinct features rather than the conventional combination of tenors and vehicles.

• Abstract: Metaphor is a prominent linguistic device in human language and literature, as they add color, imagery, and emphasis to enhance effective communication. This paper introduces a large-scale high quality annotated Chinese Metaphor Corpus, which comprises around 28K sentences drawn from a diverse range of Chinese literary sources, such as poems, prose, song lyrics, etc. To ensure the accuracy and consistency of our annotations, we introduce a comprehensive set of guidelines. These guidelines address the facets of metaphor annotation, including identifying tenors, vehicles, and grounds to handling the complexities of similes, personifications, juxtapositions, and hyperboles. Breaking tradition, our approach to metaphor generation emphasizes grounds and their distinct features rather than the conventional combination of tenors and vehicles. By integrating "ground" as a CoT (Chain of Thoughts) input, we are able to generate metaphors that resonate more with real-world intuition. We test generative models such as Belle, Baichuan, and Chinese-alpaca-33B using our annotated corpus. These models are able to generate creative and fluent metaphor sentences more frequently induced by selected samples from our dataset, demonstrating the value of our corpus for Chinese metaphor research. The code is available in https://github.com/JasonShao55/Chinese_Metaphor_Explanation.

• A framework for annotating and modelling intentions behind metaphor use [12.40493670580608]
  We propose a novel taxonomy of intentions commonly attributed to metaphor, which comprises 9 categories. We also release the first dataset annotated for intentions behind metaphor use. We use this dataset to test the capability of large language models (LLMs) in inferring the intentions behind metaphor use, in zero- and in-context few-shot settings.

  We propose a new task of generating visual metaphors from linguistic metaphors. This is a challenging task for diffusion-based text-to-image models, since it requires the ability to model implicit meaning and compositionality. We create a high-quality dataset containing 6,476 visual metaphors for 1,540 linguistic metaphors and their associated visual elaborations.

  Long texts usually involve more complicated author linguistic preferences such as discourse structures than sentences. We formulate the task of non-parallel story author-style transfer, which requires transferring an input story into a specified author style. We use an additional training objective to disentangle stylistic features from the learned discourse representation to prevent the model from degenerating to an auto-encoder.

  We propose a novel task to assess a model's semantic understanding of poetry by poem matching. This task requires the model to select one line of Chinese classical poetry among four candidates according to the modern Chinese translation of a line of poetry. To construct this dataset, we first obtain a set of parallel data of Chinese classical poetry and modern Chinese translation.

We show that the unsupervised CM-Lex model is competitive with recent deep learning metaphor generation systems.

A task-based evaluation shows that human-written poems enhanced with metaphors are preferred 68% of the time compared to poems without metaphors.

  We use crowdsourcing to evaluate our results, as well as developing an automatic metric for evaluating metaphoric paraphrases. We show that while the lexical replacement baseline is capable of producing accurate paraphrases, they often lack metaphoricity. Our metaphor masking model excels in generating metaphoric sentences while performing nearly as well with regard to fluency and paraphrase quality.
