5 paper cards in the Research library · 2017–2024

Roberto Navigli wrote 5 of the papers Mova reads, in 2017–2024, most of them on [Word sense disambiguation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/topics/word-sense-disambiguation/), [Semantic role labeling](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/topics/semantic-role-labeling/), [Machine translation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/topics/machine-translation/); often with [Simone Conia](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/simone-conia/), Alessandro Raganato, Andrea Di Fabio.

## Papers

1. **[Beyond Correlation: Interpretable Evaluation of Machine Translation Metrics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/perrella-2024-beyond-correlation-interpretable-evaluation-machine/)** *(2024)* Correlation with human judgement says little about what a metric score means. The paper evaluates metrics in two proxy scenarios: as binary classifiers for data filtering (good against bad, and perfect against other, labelled from WMT23 MQM with cut-offs set by MQM error weights), and as re-rankers, where the…
2. **[Exploring Non-Verbal Predicates in Semantic Role Labeling: Challenges and Opportunities](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/orlando-2023-exploring-non-verbal-predicates-semantic/)** *(2023)* Most SRL research and benchmarks assume that predicates are verbs. The authors test a state-of-the-art PropBank system (CN-22) trained on OntoNotes. Its argument F1 falls from 84.7 on verbs to 16.4 on nouns, and a noun-trained model falls from 72.8 to 11.2 on verbs, so it does not transfer knowledge across predicate…
3. **[Generationary or «How We Went beyond Word Sense Inventories and Learned to Gloss»](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lex-2020-bevilacqua-generationary/)** *(2020)* The paper replaces the choice from a sense inventory with generation of a definition for a word in its context.
4. **[VerbAtlas: a Novel Large-Scale Verbal Semantic Resource and Its Application to Semantic Role Labeling](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/fabio-2019-verbatlas-novel-large-scale-verbal/)** *(2019)* VerbAtlas clusters all 13,767 WordNet verb synsets by hand into 466 frames (EAT, KILL, GIVE, …; about 30 synsets each), each with one prototypical argument structure over 25 cross-frame roles taken from VerbNet (14 rare VerbNet roles merged into coarser ones, e.g.
5. **[Word Sense Disambiguation: A Unified Evaluation Framework and Empirical Comparison](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/onto-2017-raganato-word-sense-disambiguation-unified-evaluation/)** *(2017)* Results for all-words word sense disambiguation (WSD) are hard to compare, because the datasets, sense-inventory versions and preprocessing differ.
