Research on Paraphrases
Paraphrases are important for many tasks in Natural Language Processing (NLP), including Question-Answering, Text Summarization, Information Extraction, Information Retrieval, Natural Language Generation, etc. If you want to learn more about paraphrases as they pertain to NLP, check out these conferences.
