Many cultures don't follow the Anglo-Saxon standard of single last names (e.g. John Smith) and at the moment the ACL Anthology has issues assigning papers to people with two last names, leading some of us to have several profiles with our work scattered throughout them. 1/5

Well done Sachin for publishing a paper based on his masters thesis in #HumEval2024 👏👏. The work tried to reproduce annotations in code-mixed Malayalam-English data! Sachin S gavin abercrombie LREC COLING 2024

Thrilled that our work is mentioned! We found that annotators struggled to understand what was meant by 'fluency', and in turn it affected the reproducibility of the annotations. gavin abercrombie Verena Rieser
