1. **[MOMENTA: A Multimodal Framework for Detecting Harmful Memes and Their Targets](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/pramanick-2021-momenta-multimodal-framework-detecting-harmful/)** *(2021 · 212 citations)* The paper addresses automatic recognition of harmful memes, where an image and its overlaid text together can damage a person, organization, community or society, even when neither part looks offensive alone.
2. **[Detecting Harmful Memes and Their Targets](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/pramanick-2021-detecting-harmful-memes-their-targets/)** *(2021 · 171 citations)* The paper argues that harmful memes are a broader category than hateful or offensive ones. A meme can damage a person's or group's reputation without using insulting language. The authors also note that the victim of a harmful meme deserves attention of its own. They define two tasks. The first rates a meme's…
3. **[SemEval-2021 Task 6: Detection of Persuasion Techniques in Texts and Images](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/dimitrov-2021-semeval-2021-task-6-detection/)** *(2021 · 75 citations)* This shared task addresses the automatic identification of propaganda and persuasion devices in memes. Memes carry their message through both overlaid text and the picture, so studying text alone misses part of the signal. Building on SemEval-2020 task 11, which covered news text only, the organisers created a…
4. **[A Corpus of Persuasion Techniques in Slavic Languages](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/piskorski-2026-corpus-persuasion-techniques-slavic-languages/)** *(2026)* Resources for detecting persuasion techniques in Slavic languages are scarce, especially outside news media.
5. **[Schützen: Evaluating LLM Safety in Bulgarian and German Contexts](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/georgiev-2026-sch-utzen-evaluating-llm-safety/)** *(2026)* Most LLM safety benchmarks are built for English or Chinese and usually test other languages one at a time.
