Auditing Data Quality for Low-resource and Multilingual NLP](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tatariya-2026-how-good-is-your-wikipedia/)** *(2026 · 6 citations)* Wikipedia is often treated as a reliably clean source for NLP and is even used as a "high quality" reference when filtering web data. 3. **[Confounding Factors in Relating Model Performance to Morphology](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/poelman-2025-confounding-factors-relating-model-performance/)** *(2025 · 6 citations)* Studies disagree on whether morphologically rich languages are inherently harder for language models. The authors argue that much of this disagreement comes from uncontrolled variables in experimental design. They first list six confounds that an ideal study would keep fixed: the language set, morphological grouping… 4. **[Form and Meaning in Intrinsic Multilingual Evaluations](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/poelman-2026-form-meaning-intrinsic-multilingual-evaluations/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Multilingual research often ranks models or languages by intrinsic scores such as perplexity, computed on multi-parallel test sets. ## Co-authors here 7 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Miryam de Lhoneux](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/miryam-de-lhoneux/) ×4 - [Esther Ploeger](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/esther-ploeger/) ×2 - [Johannes Bjerva](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/johannes-bjerva/) ×2 - [Artur Kulmizev](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/artur-kulmizev/) - [Heather Lent](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/heather-lent/) - [Jiaming Luo](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiaming-luo/) - [Marcel Bollmann](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/marcel-bollmann/) ## 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 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) - [Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/cl/): [Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/cl/2026/) - [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/) - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2025/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 23 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/wessel-poelman/cited-by/).
