  In this paper, we introduce the first fully manually annotated paraphrase
corpus for Finnish containing 53,572 paraphrase pairs harvested from
alternative subtitles and news headings. Out of all paraphrase pairs in our
corpus 98% are manually classified to be paraphrases at least in their given
context, if not in all contexts. Additionally, we establish a manual candidate
selection method and demonstrate its feasibility in high quality paraphrase
selection in terms of both cost and quality.
