1. SemEval-2013 Task 7: The Joint Student Response Analysis and 8th Recognizing Textual Entailment Challenge (2013 · 235 citations)
   The paper reports on a SemEval-2013 shared task that joined educational NLP with the Recognizing Textual Entailment (RTE) series.
2. Dialogue Act Classification in Domain-Independent Conversations Using a Deep Recurrent Neural Network (2016 · 134 citations)
   The paper tackles dialogue act (DA) classification in open-domain, spontaneous conversation, where each utterance must be assigned a label that captures its communicative function.
3. Detecting Sarcasm is Extremely Easy ;-) (2018 · 24 citations)
   Parde and Nielsen examine how a sarcasm classifier built to work across domains behaves on two very different kinds of text: short tweets and long Amazon product reviews.
4. Towards a Domain Independent Semantics: Enhancing Semantic Representation with Construction Grammar (2010 · 17 citations)
   The authors test whether ideas from Construction Grammar (CxG) can help improve the understanding of unfamiliar predicates.
5. #SarcasmDetection is soooo general! Towards a Domain-Independent Approach for Detecting Sarcasm (2018)
   Sarcasm detectors are usually tuned to a single source, most often Twitter, and they tend to fail when moved to text with different conventions.
