Most previous benchmarks test only isolated aspects of numerical skills. The authors therefore propose a hierarchical taxonomy of eleven types of numerical reasoning. It has four levels, ranging from recognizing how… 2. **[TANQ: An Open Domain Dataset of Table Answered Questions](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/akhtar-2025-tanq-open-domain-dataset-table/)** *(2025 · 7 citations)* Most question-answering benchmarks for LLMs expect a short string answer drawn from a single document or table. 3. **[ReProbe: Efficient Test-Time Scaling of Multi-Step Reasoning by Probing Internal States of Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ni-2026-reprobe-efficient-test-time-scaling/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Test-time scaling improves LLM reasoning by sampling several candidate reasoning steps or full chains and keeping the most promising ones. ## Co-authors here 12 of 15 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Artem Shelmanov](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/artem-shelmanov/) - [Chenxi Pang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chenxi-pang/) - [Ekaterina Fadeeva](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ekaterina-fadeeva/) - [Elena Simperl](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/elena-simperl/) - [Jiaheng Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiaheng-zhang/) - [Jingwei Ni](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jingwei-ni/) - [Julian Eisenschlos](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/julian-eisenschlos/) - [Markus Leippold](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/markus-leippold/) - [Mrinmaya Sachan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mrinmaya-sachan/) - [Oana Cocarascu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/oana-cocarascu/) - [See-Kiong Ng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/see-kiong-ng/) - [Tianyi Wu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tianyi-wu/) ## 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 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2023/) - [Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/tacl/): [Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics (TACL) 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/tacl/2025/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 29 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [8 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mubashara-akhtar/cited-by/).
