## Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[Neural AMR: Sequence-to-Sequence Models for Parsing and Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/konstas-2017-neural-amr-sequence-sequence-models/)** *(2017 · 425 citations)* The paper applies sequence-to-sequence neural models to both AMR parsing and AMR generation. The main obstacle is data sparsity, so the authors pretrain on millions of unlabelled Gigaword sentences: a parser labels them, a generator is pretrained on those pairs, and then both are fine-tuned on the 16,833 gold pairs.…
2. **[Mapping Language to Code in Programmatic Context](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/iyer-2018-mapping-language-code-programmatic-context/)** *(2018 · 260 citations)* Real programs depend on their surroundings, yet earlier NL-to-code systems used fixed templates, one fixed context, or no context.
