Earlier monitoring work has mostly examined English tweets and looked only at what tweets say. Alsudias and Rayson instead ask who posted the information, since the type of source signals how much a reader can trust it. ## Co-authors here 1 co-author with a page, the most papers together first. - [Paul Rayson](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/paul-rayson/) ×3 ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/): [LREC 2020](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/2020/) - [Workshop on NLP for COVID-19 at ACL](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/nlpcovid19/): [Workshop on NLP for COVID-19 at ACL 2020](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/nlpcovid19/2020/) - [Workshop on Arabic Corpus Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wacl/): [Workshop on Arabic Corpus Linguistics 2019](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/wacl/2019/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 8 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [6 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lama-alsudias/cited-by/).
