1. **[Measuring the Evolution of a Scientific Field through Citation Frames](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/jurgens-2018-measuring-evolution-scientific-field-through/)** *(2018 · 311 citations)* Citation counts usually treat every reference as equal, but authors cite earlier work for very different purposes.
2. **[SemEval-2012 Task 2: Measuring Degrees of Relational Similarity](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/jurgens-2012-semeval-2012-task-2-measuring/)** *(2012 · 259 citations)* Most earlier work on semantic relations, including previous SemEval tasks, treats relations as discrete classes: a word pair either belongs to CAUSE : EFFECT or it does not.
3. **[A Just and Comprehensive Strategy for Using NLP to Address Online Abuse](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/jurgens-2019-just-comprehensive-strategy-nlp-address/)** *(2019 · 189 citations)* This ACL 2019 position paper argues that NLP work on online abuse has focused on a thin slice of the problem, mainly overt hate speech and abusive language.
4. **[Finding Microaggressions in the Wild: A Case for Locating Elusive Phenomena in Social Media Posts](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/breitfeller-2019-finding-microaggressions-wild-case-locating/)** *(2019 · 188 citations)* Microaggressions are subtle expressions of bias against marginalized groups. Toxicity detectors miss them, and sentiment tools may even score them as positive. Computational study has been held back by the lack of real-world data and clear annotation criteria. The authors address this with three contributions.
5. **[Modeling Framing in Immigration Discourse on Social Media](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mendelsohn-2021-modeling-framing-immigration-discourse-social/)** *(2021 · 97 citations)* Most computational framing research examines news outlets and political elites and uses a single issue-generic policy typology.
6. **[POTATO: The Portable Text Annotation Tool](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/pei-2022-potato-portable-text-annotation-tool/)** *(2022 · 89 citations)* NLP projects increasingly need annotations for intricate tasks. Existing tools such as Label Studio, Doccano, LightTag and Prodigy each have drawbacks: some depend on external hosting, some offer little layout flexibility for complex designs, and some cost too much for small teams. The authors present POTATO, a free…
