This task is commonly used for the intrinsic evaluation of cross-lingual word embeddings. The MUSE dictionaries (110 language pairs) were generated automatically and were not cleaned manually. The authors worked… 2. **[Cultural Adaptation of Recipes](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/cao-2024-cultural-adaptation-recipes/)** *(2024 · 50 citations)* Recipes are procedural texts that depend on culturally specific knowledge: which ingredients are common, how quantities are expressed, what equipment a kitchen has, and the order in which steps are done. 3. **[‘Indicatements' that character language models learn English morpho-syntactic units and regularities](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/kementchedjhieva-2018-indicatements-that-character-language-models/)** *(2018 · 17 citations)* The paper asks whether a character-level language model that reads raw, unsegmented English actually picks up morphology, or only seems to because it shares parameters across similar strings. 4. **[Why is unsupervised alignment of English embeddings from different algorithms so hard?](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/hartmann-2018-why-is-unsupervised-alignment-english/)** *(2018 · 14 citations)* The authors ask when unsupervised bilingual dictionary induction can work at all. To remove differences between languages, they align English with English. They train 300-dimensional embeddings with five algorithms (Hyperwords-SVD, Hyperwords-SGNS, CBOW, GloVe, FastText) on two disjoint 10% samples of a March 2018… 5. **[JEEM: Vision-Language Understanding in Four Arabic Dialects](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/kadaoui-2026-jeem-vision-language-understanding-four/)** *(2026 · 11 citations)* JEEM addresses a gap in evaluating vision-language models (VLMs) for Arabic. Existing Arabic multimodal data mostly comes from translated or relabeled Western images, and it is written in MSA or covers only one dialect. The authors built a benchmark with images from Jordan, the Emirates, Egypt and Morocco, one… 6. **[REVEAL: Retrieval-Enhanced Verification for Multimodal Fact-Checking](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tariq-2026-reveal-retrieval-enhanced-verification-multimodal/)** *(2026)* Most automated fact-checking work targets text-only claims, but much real misinformation pairs images with text. ## All works 8 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 6 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
