[Corpora-List] English-language paraphrase corpora

[Paula Newman]

Olga,
The website for the DUC (document understanding conference)
run by US NIST contains clusters of relatively short articles
on the same topics. http://www-nlpir.nist.gov/projects/duc/data.html
Accessing the data requires obtaining some permissions, described
on that web page.

events.
