IEEE EM-RITE 2019

Welcome to IEEE EM-RITE 2019

The 8th IEEE International Workshop on Empirical Methods for Recognizing Inference in TExt

(IEEE EM-RITE 2019)

In conjunction with IEEE IRI 2019

Los Angeles, California, USA

July 30 - August 1, 2019

Textual Entailment and Paraphrase are inference tasks of natural language processing (NLP) for automatically detecting entailment, paraphrase, and contradiction in texts. The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for original high-quality research contributions on empirical methods for recognizing inference in text as well as multidisciplinary research opportunities.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to practical areas that span a variety of aspects of empirical methods for recognizing inference in text including:

Guidelines, standards, best practices and models for the construction and annotation of Textual Entailment datasets
Evaluation of Knowledge Resources for Textual Entailment
Recognizing Inference in Text
Recognizing Inference in Text and Validation
