This makes them prone to spurious correlations, hard to interpret and weak with culturally contingent language. The authors argue that moral values, framed through Moral Foundations Theory, give a more stable signal than wording alone. They propose… 4. **[No-Worse Context-Aware Decoding: Preventing Neutral Regression in Context-Conditioned Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tao-2026-no-worse-context-aware-decoding/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* LLMs given external passages, such as retrieved evidence in RAG, sometimes change an answer they already had right, even when the passage adds nothing useful. 5. **[ThreadSumm: Summarization of Nested Discourse Threads Using Tree of Thoughts](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/olabisi-2026-threadsumm-summarization-nested-discourse-threads/)** *(2026)* Forum discussions form tree-like threads where replies, quotes and side topics interleave. Standard LLM summarizers often flatten this structure and drop minority viewpoints or lose logical flow. The authors propose ThreadSumm, a staged LLM pipeline that treats thread summarization as structured reasoning. ## All works 6 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 5 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[What Drives Performance in Multilingual Language Models?](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/nezhad-2024-drives-performance-multilingual-language-models/) [Workshop on NLP for Similar Languages, Varieties and Dialects (VarDial)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/vardial/)**Sina Bagheri Nezhad, Ameeta Agrawal*2024 · 20 citations* 2. **[Evaluating Multilingual Long-Context Models for Retrieval and Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/agrawal-2024-evaluating-multilingual-long-context-models/) [Workshop on Multilingual Representation Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/mrl/)**Ameeta Agrawal, Andy Dang, Sina Bagheri Nezhad, et al.*2024 · 13 citations* 3. **[Emotion and Sentiment Guided Paraphrasing ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2023.wassa-1.7/) Proceedings of the 13th Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity, Sentiment, & Social Media Analysis · no summary yet**Justin Xie, Ameeta Agrawal*2023 · 6 citations* 4. **[Self-Explaining Hate Speech Detection with Moral Rationales](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/vargas-2026-self-explaining-hate-speech-detection/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Francielle Vargas, Jackson Trager, Diego Alves, et al.*2026 · 2 citations* 5. **[No-Worse Context-Aware Decoding: Preventing Neutral Regression in Context-Conditioned Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tao-2026-no-worse-context-aware-decoding/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Yufei Tao, Ameeta Agrawal*2026 · 1 citation* 6. **[ThreadSumm: Summarization of Nested Discourse Threads Using Tree of Thoughts](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/olabisi-2026-threadsumm-summarization-nested-discourse-threads/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Olubusayo Olabisi, Ekata Mitra, Ameeta Agrawal*2026* ## Co-authors here 6 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Sina Bagheri Nezhad](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/sina-bagheri-nezhad/) ×2 - [Daryna Dementieva](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/daryna-dementieva/) - [Diego Alves](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/diego-alves/) - [Jackson Trager](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jackson-trager/) - [Matteo Guida](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/matteo-guida/) - [Surendrabikram Thapa](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/surendrabikram-thapa/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/) ×2: [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ×2 - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) - [Workshop on Multilingual Representation Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/mrl/): [Workshop on Multilingual Representation Learning 2024](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/mrl/2024/) - [Workshop on NLP for Similar Languages, Varieties and Dialects (VarDial)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/vardial/): [VarDial 2024](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/vardial/2024/) - Proceedings of the 13th Workshop on Computational Approaches to Subjectivity, Sentiment, & Social Media Analysis ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 29 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [5 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ameeta-agrawal/cited-by/).
