Welcome to IEEE EM-RITE 2024

The 13th IEEE International Workshop on Empirical Methods for Recognizing Inference in TExt
(IEEE EM-RITE 2024)

In conjunction with IEEE IRI 2024

August 7 - 9, 2024

San Jose, CA, USA

https://sites.google.com/view/emrite2024

The IEEE EM-RITE workshop focuses on advancing the field of natural language processing (NLP) through the exploration of inference tasks such as textual entailment, paraphrasing, and contradiction detection in text. This workshop invites original, high-quality research contributions that utilize empirical methods to recognize inference in textual data. We also encourage multidisciplinary research that bridges gaps between theoretical research and practical applications in natural language processing and related fields.
