The authors pose two questions: which story representations suit the task, and which narratology-inspired test best picks out salient sentences. ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[TongueSwitcher: Fine-Grained Identification of German-English Code-Switching ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2023.calcs-1.1/) Proceedings of the 6th Workshop on Computational Approaches to Linguistic Code-Switching · no summary yet**Igor Sterner, Simone Teufel*2023 · 13 citations* 2. **[Minimal Pair-Based Evaluation of Code-Switching](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sterner-2025-minimal-pair-based-evaluation-code/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Igor Sterner, Simone Teufel*2025 · 6 citations* 3. **[Contrastive Learning with Narrative Twins for Modeling Story Salience](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sterner-2026-contrastive-learning-narrative-twins-modeling/) [Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/eacl/)**Igor Sterner, Alex Lascarides, Frank Keller*2026 · 5 citations* ## Co-authors here 3 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Alex Lascarides](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/alex-lascarides/) - [Frank Keller](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/frank-keller/) - [Simone Teufel](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/simone-teufel/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/) - [Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/eacl/): [EACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/eacl/2026/) - Proceedings of the 6th Workshop on Computational Approaches to Linguistic Code-Switching ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 22 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [8 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/igor-sterner/cited-by/).
