1. Computational Sociolinguistics: A Survey (2016 · 288 citations)
   This survey maps the emerging research area that the authors call computational sociolinguistics, where computational linguistics (CL) meets sociolinguistics.
2. EQUATE: A Benchmark Evaluation Framework for Quantitative Reasoning in Natural Language Inference (2019 · 123 citations)
   EQUATE is a benchmark of five test sets for quantitative reasoning in entailment: RTE-Quant (166 pairs from RTE2–4), NewsNLI (968 crowdsourced pairs from news summaries), RedditNLI (250 expert-labelled headline pairs), a synthetic stress test (7,500 pairs) and AwpNLI (722 algebra word problems turned into pairs).
3. The CODI-CRAC 2021 Shared Task on Anaphora, Bridging, and Discourse Deixis in Dialogue (2021 · 47 citations)
   The shared task asks systems to find anaphoric relations in conversation, a genre that OntoNotes-style corpora barely cover.
4. Using Type Information to Improve Entity Coreference Resolution (2020 · 27 citations)
   Neural coreference resolution (CR) systems built on contextual encoders such as BERT usually ignore the entity-type labels that many CR corpora already contain.
5. The CODI-CRAC 2022 Shared Task on Anaphora, Bridging, and Discourse Deixis in Dialogue (2022 · 14 citations)
   The second edition of a shared task on anaphora in dialogue, with three tasks: identity anaphora (including split antecedents and singletons), bridging reference, and discourse deixis (a pronoun such as that or this referring to an event, fact or utterance).
6. Code-Switching as a Social Act: The Case of Arabic Wikipedia Talk Pages (2017 · 13 citations)
   The paper asks whether switching away from Arabic in Arabic Wikipedia discussions carries social meaning, and whether that meaning can be measured.
7. Modeling Dialogue Acts with Content Word Filtering and Speaker Preferences (2017 · 11 citations)
   The paper tackles unsupervised recognition of dialogue acts (DAs) in conversations. The authors propose CSM, an HMM-based generative model with two main additions. First, it filters content words. Each conversation receives a slowly changing background topic, drawn from topics shared across the corpus, which absorbs…
8. PBEBench: A Multi-Step Programming by Examples Reasoning Benchmark inspired by Historical Linguistics (2026 · 1 citation)
   Most reasoning benchmarks mix logical ability with domain knowledge. This paper tries to separate the two with a task modeled on Sound Law Induction (SLI) from historical linguistics. In SLI, linguists explain how ancestral words became modern forms by positing an ordered series of sound changes. The authors recast…
9. Model Transfer for Event tracking as Transcript Understanding for Videos of Small Group Interaction (2022)
   The authors approach understanding videos of small-group work as something broader than analyzing the conversation transcript.
