Evaluating State-of-the-art Models of Speaker Commitment](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/jiang-2019-do-you-know-that-florence/)** *(2019 · 30 citations)* The paper asks whether leading speaker-commitment (event factuality) systems can tell how strongly a speaker stands behind an embedded clause when the sentence is natural, varied text rather than tidy newswire. 3. **[He Thinks He Knows Better than the Doctors: BERT for Event Factuality Fails on Pragmatics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/jiang-2021-he-thinks-he-knows-better/)** *(2021 · 21 citations)* The task is to predict, on a scale from −3 to +3, how factual an embedded event is. The authors fine-tune BERT on seven English datasets, among them FactBank, MEANTIME, UW, UDS-IH2, CommitmentBank (CB), Ross and Pavlick (RP) and MegaVeridicality. BERT does well on most of them, and sets new results on FactBank and… ## All works 5 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Evaluating BERT for natural language inference: A case study on the CommitmentBank](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/jiang-2019-evaluating-bert-natural-language-inference/) [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/)**Nanjiang Jiang, Marie-Catherine de Marneffe*2019 · 72 citations* 2. **[Do You Know That Florence Is Packed with Visitors?
