Abstract
Data is received that includes a passage of text. The passage of text can be tokenized so that features can be extracted from the resulting tokens. One or more machine learning models can detect one or more metaphors within the passage of text using the extracted features. The at least one machine learning model can be trained, for example, by interleaving data relating to metaphors with data relating to one or more auxiliary tasks associated with related figurative language constructs. Data can then be provided that identifies the detected metaphors. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
