📄 Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. Comparing Corpus-based to Web-based Lookup Techniques for Automatic English Inclusion Detection (2008 · 15 citations)
   The paper asks whether a Web-based lookup is really needed to spot English words embedded in German text, or whether static corpora could do the same job.
2. Uncertainty and Inclusivity in Gender Bias Annotation: An Annotation Taxonomy and Annotated Datasets of British English Text (2022 · 14 citations)
   Work on gender bias in NLP often defines gender and bias loosely, assumes only two genders, and treats annotations as having one correct answer.
3. Investigating the Capabilities and Limitations of Machine Learning for Identifying Bias in English Language Data with Information and Heritage Professionals (2025 · 2 citations)
   Cultural heritage institutions (galleries, libraries, archives, museums) increasingly review old catalog descriptions for harmful language, but doing this by hand across millions of records is slow.
