Definite Description Lexical Choice: taking Speaker’s Personality into account (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Referring Expression Generation (REG) lexical choice is the subtask that provides words to express an input meaning representation. |
| Approach: | They propose a personality-dependent lexical choice model for Referring Expression Generation (REG) that provides words to express a given input meaning representation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms a standard lexicalisation model based on meaning-to-text mappings and personality information. |

Analysing Lexical Semantic Change with Contextualised Word Representations (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies on lexical semantic change have focused on detecting and characterising word meaning shifts using distributional semantic models. |
| Approach: | They propose a method that exploits the BERT neural language model to obtain representations of word usages, clusters these representations into usage types, and measures change along time with three proposed metrics. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method captures a variety of synchronic and diachronic linguistic phenomena and is highly reproducible and reproducible. |

Manipulating the Perceived Personality Traits of Language Models (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Psychology research has long explored aspects of human personality like extroversion, agreeableness and emotional stability, three of the personality traits that make up the ‘Big Five’. |
| Approach: | They propose to use text generated from large language models to evaluate perceived personality traits and to frame them as tools for controlling personas in dialog systems. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models predict personality traits in different contexts and can be manipulated in a predictable way. |
Lexical Entrainment for Conversational Systems (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Conversational agents are expected to possess human-like features such as lexical entrainment (LE). |
| Approach: | They propose a dataset and a measure for LE for conversational systems to explicitly integrate LE into conversational system. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset and a measure for LE for conversational systems address this human-like phenomenon. |
Using Language Models to Disambiguate Lexical Choices in Translation (2024.emnlp-main)

| Challenge: | In translation, a concept represented by a single word can have multiple variations in a target language. |
| Approach: | They evaluate language models that can be used to generate English rules for lexical selection . they find weaker models with high-quality lexicals improve accuracy . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing models on the lexical selection task in English and with native speakers. |
Constructing Distributions of Variation in Referring Expression Type from Corpora for Model Evaluation (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | referencing is a non-deterministic task, but the algorithms for RE generation are evaluated against corpora of written texts which only include one RE per reference. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for exploring variation in human RE choice on the basis of longitudinal corpora. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method shows agreement between the evaluations against human judgements and parallel evaluations. |
Reference production in human-computer interaction: Issues for Corpus-based Referring Expression Generation (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Referring Expression Generation studies often use web-based data collection tasks without a particular addressee in mind. |
| Approach: | They developed a parallel corpus of monologue and dialogue referring expressions and an annotated corpus to compare instances produced in both modes of communication. |
| Outcome: | The results suggest that human reference production may be affected by the presence of a second (specific) human participant as the receiver of the communication in a number of ways. |
The impact of lexical and grammatical processing on generating code from natural language (2022.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Yin and Neubig (2018) identify four key components of importance for natural language to code translation. |
| Approach: | They propose a seq2seq-based architecture that relies on a grammar-based decoder and a lexical substitution component for natural language to code translation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed architecture relies on a grammar-based decoder and a BERT encoder . the proposed architecture is based on lexical substitutions in natural language to code translation . |
Dynamic Head Selection for Neural Lexicalized Constituency Parsing (2025.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Lexicalized parsing has traditionally been neglected in favor of unlexicalized, span-based methods. |
| Approach: | They propose a latent lexicalization framework that dynamically infers lexicals from data without relying on predefined head-finding rules. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model learns lexical dependencies directly from data, offering greater adaptability across languages and datasets. |
