This paper asks whether that skill holds when only the way numbers are written changes. The authors built a controlled benchmark of 336 base arithmetic expressions with integer and decimal operands of 1–8 digits.… ## Co-authors here 6 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Chris Tanner](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chris-tanner/) ×2 - [Varshini Reddy](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/varshini-reddy/) ×2 - [Yuval Pinter](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yuval-pinter/) ×2 - [Adam Wiemerslage](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/adam-wiemerslage/) - [Haoran Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haoran-zhang/) - [Seth Ebner](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/seth-ebner/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2024](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2024/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 46 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [10 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/craig-w-schmidt/cited-by/).
