These include relation extraction, knowledge base population, question answering, and text generation from facts.

Most previous benchmarks test only isolated aspects of numerical skills. The authors therefore propose a hierarchical taxonomy of eleven types of numerical reasoning. It has four levels, ranging from recognizing how… ## Also in our library 3 more works of theirs are in our library without a page here yet; they will appear as we publish them. ## Co-authors here 3 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Frederique Laforest](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/frederique-laforest/) - [Hady Elsahar](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hady-elsahar/) - [Oana Cocarascu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/oana-cocarascu/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 204 times (of the 140,884 papers whose bibliographies we read); [23 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/elena-simperl/cited-by/).
