'''Paraphrase''' or '''paraphrasing''' in [[computational linguistics]] is the [[natural language processing]] task of detecting and generating [[paraphrase]]s. Applications of paraphrasing are varied including information retrieval, [[question answering]], [[Automatic summarization|text summarization]], and [[plagiarism detection]].<ref name=Socher /> Paraphrasing is also useful in the [[evaluation of machine translation]],<ref name=Callison>{{cite conference |last=Callison-Burch |first=Chris |title=Syntactic Constraints on Paraphrases Extracted from Parallel Corpora |conference=EMNLP '08 Proceedings of the Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing |date=October 25–27, 2008 |place=Honolulu, Hawaii |pages=196–205|url=https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1613743}}</ref> as well as [[semantic parsing]]<ref>Berant, Jonathan, and Percy Liang.
