Abstract
The rapid growth of web source has changed language learning behavior. More and more people utilized web sources instead of paper books. However, the problem now is that it is overwhelming to find useful information. In addition, when considering using different words, good example sentences demonstrating nuance among words are extremely helpful but learners can hardly find them as most web dictionaries contain explanations and examples for only a single word. To solve the problem, we proposed a system called GiveMeExample which can automatically search for the best example sentences of a group of confusing words. The proposed system learns the word usage model for each word in the confusing word group and a universal difficulty model for all sentences, in order to propose simple but clear example sentences for learners. Experiments show that the proposed approach can really provide the most useful example sentences for understanding confusing words. GiveMeExample is available at http://givemeexample.com/GiveMeExample.
