Datasets such as ATIS and GeoQuery use one database and expand each query with several paraphrases, so the same SQL shows up in both training and test data. WikiSQL covers many databases, but its tables are single and its queries simple. Spider addresses both gaps.… 2. **[Map-of-Actions: Deliberate Reasoning over Multi-Labeled Graphs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ni-2026-map-actions-deliberate-reasoning-over/)** *(2026)* LLMs usually reason in free-form text, which makes intermediate steps hard to track, check, or correct. This leads to repeated work and errors that compound across steps. Ni and Yang propose Map-of-Actions (MoA), a neuro-symbolic framework inspired by Tolman's cognitive map theory. MoA represents the reasoning state… ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Spider: A Large-Scale Human-Labeled Dataset for Complex and Cross-Domain Semantic Parsing and Text-to-SQL Task](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yu-2018-spider-large-scale-human-labeled/) [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/)**Tao Yu, Rui Zhang, Kai Yang, et al.*2018 · 1,602 citations* 2. **[Map-of-Actions: Deliberate Reasoning over Multi-Labeled Graphs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ni-2026-map-actions-deliberate-reasoning-over/) [Workshop on Structured Understanding, Retrieval, and Generation in the LLM Era](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/surgellm/)**Wuguang Ni, Kai Yang*2026* 3. **[STCOR: A Trilevel Syllogism-Driven Reasoning Framework ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2026.argmining-1.1/) Proceedings of the 13th Workshop on Argument Mining and Reasoning · no summary yet**Keying Yang et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 7 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Dragomir Radev](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dragomir-radev/) - [Irene Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/irene-li/) - [Michihiro Yasunaga](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/michihiro-yasunaga/) - [Rui Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/rui-zhang/) - [Tao Yu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tao-yu/) - [Zifan Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zifan-li/) - [Zilin Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zilin-zhang/) ## 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 2018](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2018/) - [Workshop on Structured Understanding, Retrieval, and Generation in the LLM Era](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/surgellm/): [Workshop on Structured Understanding, Retrieval, and Generation in the LLM Era 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/surgellm/2026/) - Proceedings of the 13th Workshop on Argument Mining and Reasoning ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 622 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [105 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kai-yang/cited-by/).
