Surprisal Minimisation over Goal-directed Alternatives Predicts Production Choice in Dialogue (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a method to model utterance production is based on information-theoretic notions of cost . a technique to generate alternative sets of utterables is proposed . |
| Approach: | They propose a procedure to generate both types of alternative sets using language models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed procedure allows for speaker- and listener-oriented interpretations of different cost measures. |

Towards Pragmatic Production Strategies for Natural Language Generation Tasks (2022.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Using language to communicate successfully requires effort. |
| Approach: | They propose a conceptual framework for the design of natural language generation systems that follow efficient and effective production strategies to achieve complex communicative goals. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework is applied to visually grounded referential games and abstractive text summarisation tasks with real-world applications. |
Comparing Theories of Speaker Choice Using a Model of Classifier Production in Mandarin Chinese (N18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies show that optional reductions are sensitive to contextual predictability . unclear whether speaker choices are driven by audience design or to facilitate production . |
| Approach: | They argue that Uniform Information Density and availability-based production make opposite predictions regarding the predictability of upcoming material and speaker choices. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model shows that speaker choices support availability-based production account, not the UID hypothesis. |
Comparing human and LLM politeness strategies in free production (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Polite speech poses a fundamental alignment challenge for large language models (LLMs). |
| Approach: | They compare human and LLM responses to English-language scenarios to determine whether they employ a similarly context-sensitive repertoire. |
| Outcome: | The results show that large models replicate key effects from the computational pragmatics literature and human evaluators prefer LLM-generated responses in open-ended contexts. |
An Existence Proof for Neural Language Models That Can Explain Garden-Path Effects via Surprisal (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Surprisal theory claims that difficulty of sentences increases linearly with surprise . a neural LM that can explain garden-path effects cannot be built, says a new study . |
| Approach: | They propose to fine-tune neural LMs to better align surprisal-based reading-time estimates with actual reading times. |
| Outcome: | a new study shows that fine-tuned neural LMs do not overfit on held-out items . the results show that they improve predictive power for human reading times . |
Expect the Unexpected? Testing the Surprisal of Salient Entities (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing work on the Uniform Information Density hypothesis has neglected the relative salience of discourse participants. |
| Approach: | They propose to use an annotated text to examine how overall salience of entities in discourse relates to surprisal. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method shows that global salience is a mechanism shaping information distribution in discourse. |
The Pragmatic Mind of Machines: Tracing the Emergence of Pragmatic Competence in Large Language Models (2026.eacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated emerging capabilities in social intelligence tasks, including implicature resolution and theory-of-mind reasoning. |
| Approach: | They introduce a dataset grounded in the pragmatic concept of alternatives to evaluate whether large language models can accurately infer nuanced speaker intentions. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can infer nuanced speaker intentions by inferring the speaker’s intended meaning and explaining when and why a speaker would choose one utterance over its alternative. |
The Imperfective Paradox in Large Language Models (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models rely on surface-level probabilistic heuristics to grasp compositional semantics of events . authors: current open-weight models operate as predictive narrative engines rather than faithful reasoners . |
| Approach: | They propose a diagnostic dataset to probe the imperfective paradox . they uncover a pervasive Teleological Bias in open-weight models . |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset reveals a pervasive Teleological Bias in open-weight models . the findings suggest that these models operate as predictive narrative engines rather than faithful reasoners . |
Revitalizing Black-Box Interpretability: Actionable Interpretability for LLMs via Proxy Models (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Applying model-agnostic explanations to Large Language Models is hindered by prohibitive computational costs rendering them dormant for real-world applications. |
| Approach: | They propose a budget-friendly proxy framework that leverages efficient models to approximate the decision boundaries of expensive Large Language Models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework achieves over 90% fidelity with only 9.5% of the oracle’s cost and is open-source to facilitate future research. |
Speakers enhance contextually confusable words (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent work has found that natural languages are shaped by pressures for efficient communication. |
| Approach: | They develop a measure of contextual confusability during word recognition based on psychoacoustic data and apply it to naturalistic speech corpora. |
| Outcome: | The proposed measure of confusability suggests that speakers alter productions to make contextually more confused words easier to understand. |
