1. **[The PhotoBook Dataset: Building Common Ground through Visually-Grounded Dialogue](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/haber-2019-photobook-dataset-building-common-ground/)** *(2019 · 53 citations)* Current visually grounded dialogue systems tend to lose consistency across a conversation, partly because they do not exploit the shared history that human partners build up.
2. **[Word Representation Learning in Multimodal Pre-Trained Transformers: An Intrinsic Evaluation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/pezzelle-2021-word-representation-learning-multimodal-pre/)** *(2021 · 25 citations)* Pre-trained vision-and-language Transformers are said to learn general-purpose word meanings, but it was unclear how well these meanings match human intuitions.
3. **[Common Objects Out of Context (COOCo): Investigating Multimodal Context and Semantic Scene Violations in Referential Communication](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/merlo-2026-common-objects-out-context-cooco/)** *(2026)* The paper asks how much vision-language models (VLMs) draw on surrounding scene context when naming an object, and whether this depends on how well the object fits the scene.
