Table 2:

The top-3 closest idioms ranked by cosine similarity by IE embeddings generated by BART and ITI+SF+SI (our GIEA method). While the IE embeddings from GIEA are grouped by semantic meaning, BART’s IE embeddings are grouped together mostly by surface-level token and/or syntactic similarity.

Idiom	BART	ITI+SF+SI
in the final analysis	in the long run	at the end of the day
	in the works	in light of
	in light of	all things being equal
see red	see the light	go spare
	see stars	fly off the handle
	go down like a lead balloon	do someone’s head in
quick as a flash	flash in the pan	in the blink of an eye
	keen as mustard	like a bat out of hell
	thin as a rake	thick and fast
