1. **[QANom: Question-Answer driven SRL for Nominalizations](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/klein-2020-qanom-question-answer-driven-srl/)** *(2020 · 41 citations)* QANom extends QA-SRL from verbs to nouns derived from verbs: a noun like proof or increase is questioned with its verb's question templates («What has someone proved?», «Why did something increase?») and answered with spans of the sentence.
2. **[Ranking Human and LLM Texts Using Locality Statistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-ranking-human-llm-texts-locality/)** *(2026)* Most detectors of machine-generated text rely on large transformer models, which are costly to run and hard to interpret.
