1. A Survey of the State of Explainable AI for Natural Language Processing (2020 · 294 citations)
   Modern NLP has moved from transparent methods such as rules, decision trees and HMMs to deep neural models and embeddings.
2. DialogStudio: Towards Richest and Most Diverse Unified Dataset Collection for Conversational AI (2023 · 21 citations)
   Conversational models often struggle across varied dialogue tasks because training data is fragmented, small, task-specific and stored in inconsistent formats.
3. DECOR: Improving Coherence in L2 English Writing with a Novel Benchmark for Incoherence Detection, Reasoning, and Rewriting (2024 · 5 citations)
   Second-language (L2) English learners often struggle with discourse coherence. Existing automated writing evaluation tools mostly assign a coherence score based on shallow linguistic features and do not help learners fix the problem. The authors present DECOR, a benchmark built from 100 medium-level TOEFL-11 essays.…
