1. **[Flipper: An Extended Document-Level Financial Dataset for Training and Evaluation with Annotated Discourse Phenomena](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/nakhle-2026-flipper-extended-document-level-financial/)** *(2026)* Machine translation still struggles with phenomena that depend on context outside the current sentence, such as pronouns, agreement and consistent terminology.
2. **[Traduction automatique de corpus en anglais annotés en sens pour la désambiguïsation lexicale d'une langue moins bien dotée, l'exemple de l'arabe (Automatic Translation of English Sense Annotated Corpora for Word Sense Disambiguation of a Less Well-endowed Language, the Example of Arabic)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/salah-2018-traduction-automatique-de-corpus-en/)** *(2018)* Arabic Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) has little sense-annotated training data. Until recently it also had no freely available gold standard, which made systems hard to build and hard to compare. The authors address this by automatically creating Arabic training data from English. They take the 12 English corpora…

The authors argue that it is rarely used because its Arabic sense inventory was never connected to Princeton WordNet, unlike the English and Chinese parts. Without that link, the Arabic portion cannot draw on the…
