1. Visual Writing Prompts: Character-Grounded Story Generation with Curated Image Sequences (2023 · 47 citations)
   Visual story generation models are often trained on image sequences such as VIST's Flickr albums. These sequences tend to lack a real plot, and the people in them change from picture to picture, so the stories written for them are weak training data. The authors introduce the notion of "visual tellability": a good…
2. Rollenwechsel-English: a large-scale semantic role corpus (2018 · 6 citations)
   The authors build a very large English resource of automatically labelled semantic frames, aimed at modelling generalized event knowledge, meaning how typical a noun is as, say, the agent or instrument of a verb.
3. Arabic Cross-Document Coreference Resolution (2009 · 3 citations)
   The paper addresses cross-document coreference for Arabic: deciding when entity mentions in different documents (e.g., two people both called "George Bush") denote the same real-world individual.
