I won't be at #EMNLP2024, but I have two papers that I'm proud of!

"Sonnet or Not, Bot? Poetry Evaluation for Large Models and Datasets"
aclanthology.org/2024.finding...

"The Empirical Variability of Narrative Perceptions of Social Media Texts"
aclanthology.org/2024.emnlp-m...

Figure 1 from the "Sonnet or Not, Bot?" paper. We show an example of the form classification task, in which a poem is assigned to a form like haiku or sonnet.

Figure 1 from the StoryPerceptions paper. We show an example of the crowd worker task, in which texts are assigned story or not story labels and then workers answer questions contextualizing their decisions.
