In Search of the Lost Arch in Dialogue: A Dependency Dialogue Acts Corpus for Multi-Party Dialogues

ACL 2025finding

Understanding the structure of multi-party conversation and the intentions and dialogue acts of each speaker remains a significant challenge in NLP. While a number of corpora annotated using theoretical frameworks of dialogue have been proposed, these typically focus on either utterance-level labeli…

MALAMUTE: A Multilingual, Highly-granular, Template-free, Education-based Probing Dataset

ACL 2025finding

Language models (LMs) have excelled in various broad domains. However, to ensure their safe and effective integration into real-world educational settings, they must demonstrate proficiency in specific, granular areas of knowledge. Existing cloze-style benchmarks, commonly used to evaluate LMs’ know…

Molecular String Representation Preferences in Pretrained LLMs: A Comparative Study in Zero- & Few-Shot Molecular Property Prediction

EMNLP 2025

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated capabilities for natural language formulations of molecular property prediction tasks, but little is known about how performance depends on the representation of input molecules to the model; the status quo approach is to use SMILES strings, although al

Generating Harder Cross-document Event Coreference Resolution Datasets using Metaphoric Paraphrasing

ACL 2024short

The most popular Cross-Document Event Coreference Resolution (CDEC) datasets fail to convey the true difficulty of the task, due to the lack of lexical diversity between coreferring event triggers (words or phrases that refer to an event). Furthermore, there is a dearth of event datasets for figurat…

Linear Cross-document Event Coreference Resolution with X-AMR

COLING 2024main

Event Coreference Resolution (ECR) as a pairwise mention classification task is expensive both for automated systems and manual annotations. The task’s quadratic difficulty is exacerbated when using Large Language Models (LLMs), making prompt engineering for ECR prohibitively costly. In this work, w…

Multimodal Cross-Document Event Coreference Resolution Using Linear Semantic Transfer and Mixed-Modality Ensembles

COLING 2024main

Event coreference resolution (ECR) is the task of determining whether distinct mentions of events within a multi-document corpus are actually linked to the same underlying occurrence. Images of the events can help facilitate resolution when language is ambiguous. Here, we propose a multimodal cross-…
