Welcome to IEEE EM-RITE 2021

The 10th IEEE International Workshop on Empirical Methods for Recognizing Inference in TExt
(IEEE EM-RITE 2021)

In conjunction with IEEE IRI 2021

August 10 - August 12, 2021

Taking Place Virtually

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
