Many real tasks instead need nesting, where one call's result becomes an argument to a later call. NESTFUL (IBM Research) targets this gap with more than 1,800 nested sequences built from MathQA and StarCoder2-Instruct. 2. **[Knowledge-driven Natural Language Understanding of English Text and its Applications](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/basu-2021-knowledge-driven-natural-language-understanding/)** *(2021 · 4 citations)* The paper argues that systems which answer questions or hold conversations should first turn text into an explicit meaning representation and then reason over it, rather than rely on word correlations. ## 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. **[Granite Code Models: A Family of Open Foundation Models for Code Intelligence ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.04324) arXiv:2405.04324 · no summary yet**Mayank Mishra et al.*2024 · 54 citations* 2. **[NESTFUL: A Benchmark for Evaluating LLMs on Nested Sequences of API Calls](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/basu-2025-nestful-benchmark-evaluating-llms-nested/) [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/)**Kinjal Basu, Ibrahim Abdelaziz, Kiran Kate, et al.*2025 · 16 citations* 3. **[Knowledge-driven Natural Language Understanding of English Text and its Applications](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/basu-2021-knowledge-driven-natural-language-understanding/) [Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/proceedings-of-the-aaai-conference-on-artificial-intelligence/)**Kinjal Basu, Sarat Varanasi, Farhad Shakerin, et al.*2021 · 4 citations* ## Co-authors here 4 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Ibrahim Abdelaziz](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ibrahim-abdelaziz/) - [Luis Lastras](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/luis-lastras/) - [Sadhana Kumaravel](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/sadhana-kumaravel/) - [Xin Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xin-wang/) ## 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 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2025/) - [Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/proceedings-of-the-aaai-conference-on-artificial-intelligence/): [Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence 2021](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/proceedings-of-the-aaai-conference-on-artificial-intelligence/2021/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 58 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [12 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kinjal-basu/cited-by/).
