## Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[Enabling Language Models to Fill in the Blanks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/donahue-2020-enabling-language-models-fill-blanks/)** *(2020 · 209 citations)* Standard left-to-right language models generate text well but can only use preceding context, so they cannot fill gaps in the middle of a document.
2. **[Towards Explainable AI Writing Assistants for Non-native English Speakers](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/kim-2023-towards-explainable-ai-writing-assistants/)** *(2023 · 8 citations)* Paraphrasing tools such as Grammarly, Wordtune or Quillbot usually offer several rewrites of a sentence but say nothing about how the options differ or why they were proposed.
