Paraphrase Detection

Paraphrase detection is a natural-language-processing task that decides whether two sentences expressed in different wordings carry the same meaning. The task and its benchmark resources were established by Dolan and Brockett (2005), and it underpins plagiarism detection, question matching, and data deduplication.
