These sequences tend to lack a real plot, and the people in them change from picture to picture, so the stories written for them are weak training data. The authors introduce the notion of "visual tellability": a good… 2. **[Rollenwechsel-English: a large-scale semantic role corpus](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sayeed-2018-rollenwechsel-english-large-scale-semantic/)** *(2018 · 6 citations)* The authors build a very large English resource of automatically labelled semantic frames, aimed at modelling generalized event knowledge, meaning how typical a noun is as, say, the agent or instrument of a verb. 3. **[Arabic Cross-Document Coreference Resolution](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sayeed-2009-arabic-cross-document-coreference-resolution/)** *(2009 · 3 citations)* The paper addresses cross-document coreference for Arabic: deciding when entity mentions in different documents (e.g., two people both called "George Bush") denote the same real-world individual. ## All works 8 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Visual Writing Prompts: Character-Grounded Story Generation with Curated Image Sequences](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/hong-2023-visual-writing-prompts-character-grounded/) [Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/tacl/)**Xudong Hong, Asad Sayeed, Khushboo Mehra, et al.*2023 · 47 citations* 2. **[Thematic fit evaluation: an aspect of selectional preferences ↗](https://aclanthology.org/W16-2518/) Proceedings of the 1st Workshop on Evaluating Vector-Space Representations for NLP · no summary yet**Asad Sayeed, Clayton Greenberg, Vera Demberg*2016 · 38 citations* 3. **[Distributional properties of political dogwhistle representations in Swedish BERT ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2022.woah-1.16/) Proceedings of the Sixth Workshop on Online Abuse and Harms (WOAH) · no summary yet**Niclas Hertzberg et al.*2022 · 13 citations* 4. **[Political dogwhistles and community divergence in semantic change ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2023.lchange-1.6/) Proceedings of the 4th Workshop on Computational Approaches to Historical Language Change · no summary yet**Max Boholm, Asad Sayeed*2023 · 6 citations* 5. **[Rollenwechsel-English: a large-scale semantic role corpus](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sayeed-2018-rollenwechsel-english-large-scale-semantic/) [Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/)**Asad Sayeed, Pavel Shkadzko, Vera Demberg*2018 · 6 citations* 6. **[Building Sense Representations in Danish by Combining Word Embeddings with Lexical Resources ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2020.globalex-1.8/) Proceedings of the 2020 Globalex Workshop on Linked Lexicography · no summary yet**Ida Rørmann Olsen, Bolette Pedersen, Asad Sayeed*2020 · 3 citations* 7. **[Arabic Cross-Document Coreference Resolution](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sayeed-2009-arabic-cross-document-coreference-resolution/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Asad Sayeed, Tamer Elsayed, Nikesh Garera, et al.*2009 · 3 citations* 8. **[Who leads?
