They score huge pools of proposals, anchors or grid cells, then clean up the duplicates with hand-tuned steps such as non-maximum suppression. DETR (DEtection TRansformer) treats detection as predicting an unordered set. 2. **[Translating Embeddings for Modeling Multi-relational Data](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/bordes-2013-translating-embeddings-modeling-multi-relational/)** *(2013 · 5,863 citations)* The paper addresses learning vector representations (embeddings) for multi-relational data. These are knowledge graphs in which each fact is written as a triple (head, label, tail). The authors sought a model that is easy to train, has few parameters, and works on very large databases. To this end, they proposed… ## All works 10 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. **[End-to-End Object Detection with Transformers](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/carion-2020-end-end-object-detection-transformers/) [Lecture notes in computer science](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lecture-notes-in-computer-science/)**Nicolas Carion, Francisco Massa, Gabriel Synnaeve, et al.*2020 · 16,967 citations* 2. **[Translating Embeddings for Modeling Multi-relational Data](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/bordes-2013-translating-embeddings-modeling-multi-relational/) [Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/)**Antoine Bordes, Nicolas Usunier, Alberto Garcia-Durán, et al.*2013 · 5,863 citations* 3. **[Fader Networks: Manipulating Images by Sliding Attributes ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.00409) arXiv (Cornell University) · no summary yet**Guillaume Lample et al.*2017 · 286 citations* 4. **[Improving Neural Language Models with a Continuous Cache ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.04426) arXiv:1612.04426 · no summary yet**Edouard Grave, Armand Joulin, Nicolas Usunier*2016 · 179 citations* 5. **[Ranking with ordered weighted pairwise classification ↗](https://doi.org/10.1145/1553374.1553509) International Conference on Machine Learning · no summary yet**Nicolas Usunier, David Buffoni, Patrick Gallinari*2009 · 148 citations* 6. **[Composing Relationships with Translations ↗](https://aclanthology.org/D15-1034/) Proceedings of the 2015 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing · no summary yet**Alberto García-Durán, Antoine Bordes, Nicolas Usunier*2015 · 103 citations* 7. **[Episodic Exploration for Deep Deterministic Policies: An Application to StarCraft Micromanagement Tasks ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.02993) arXiv (Cornell University) · no summary yet**Nicolas Usunier et al.*2016 · 96 citations* 8. **[TorchCraft: a Library for Machine Learning Research on Real-Time Strategy Games ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.00625) arXiv (Cornell University) · no summary yet**Gabriel Synnaeve et al.*2016 · 83 citations* 9. **[Episodic Exploration for Deep Deterministic Policies for StarCraft Micromanagement ↗](https://openalex.org/W2751379610) International Conference on Learning Representations · no summary yet**Nicolas Usunier et al.*2017 · 8 citations* 10. **[Fader Networks: Generating Image Variations by Sliding Attribute Values ↗](https://openalex.org/W2751671555) HAL (Le Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe) · no summary yet**Guillaume Lample et al.*2017 · 3 citations* ## Co-authors here 5 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Alexander Kirillov](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/alexander-kirillov/) - [Antoine Bordes](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/antoine-bordes/) - [Francisco Massa](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/francisco-massa/) - [Gabriel Synnaeve](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/gabriel-synnaeve/) - [Jason Weston](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jason-weston/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Lecture notes in computer science](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lecture-notes-in-computer-science/): [Lecture notes in computer science 2020](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lecture-notes-in-computer-science/2020/) - [Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/): [NeurIPS 2013](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/2013/) - HAL (Le Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe) - International Conference on Learning Representations - International Conference on Machine Learning - Proceedings of the 2015 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 2,664 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [298 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nicolas-usunier/cited-by/).
