The authors propose SD-E2, an RL framework… ## All works 5 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 4 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Exploring the effects of Sentence Simplification on Hindi to English Machine Translation System ↗](https://aclanthology.org/W14-5603/) Proceedings of the Workshop on Automatic Text Simplification - Methods and Applications in the Multilingual Society (ATS-MA 2014) · no summary yet**Kshitij Mishra et al.*2014 · 33 citations* 2. **[PAL to Lend a Helping Hand: Towards Building an Emotion Adaptive Polite and Empathetic Counseling Conversational Agent](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mishra-2023-pal-lend-helping-hand-building/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Kshitij Mishra, Priyanshu Priya, Asif Ekbal*2023 · 23 citations* 3. **[PEPDS: A Polite and Empathetic Persuasive Dialogue System for Charity Donation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mishra-2022-pepds-polite-empathetic-persuasive-dialogue/) [International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/coling/)**Kshitij Mishra, Azlaan Mustafa Samad, Palak Totala, et al.*2022 · 11 citations* 4. **[ABLE: Personalized Disability Support with Politeness and Empathy Integration](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mishra-2024-able-personalized-disability-support-politeness/) [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/)**Kshitij Mishra, Manisha Burja, Asif Ekbal*2024 · 3 citations* 5. **[SD-E2: Semantic Exploration for Reasoning Under Token Budgets](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mishra-2026-sd-e2-semantic-exploration-reasoning/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Kshitij Mishra, Nils Lukas, Salem Lahlou*2026* ## Co-authors here 4 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Asif Ekbal](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/asif-ekbal/) ×3 - [Nils Lukas](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nils-lukas/) - [Priyanshu Priya](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/priyanshu-priya/) - [Salem Lahlou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/salem-lahlou/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2023/) - [International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/coling/): [COLING 2022](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/coling/2022/) - [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/) - Proceedings of the Workshop on Automatic Text Simplification - Methods and Applications in the Multilingual Society (ATS-MA 2014) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 40 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/kshitij-mishra/cited-by/).
