1. **[Improving and Simplifying Pattern Exploiting Training](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tam-2021-improving-simplifying-pattern-exploiting-training/)** *(2021 · 184 citations)* Large language models such as GPT-3 can handle tasks from only a handful of labeled examples, but their size makes them hard to study or deploy.
2. **[PRover: Proof Generation for Interpretable Reasoning over Rules](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/saha-2020-prover-proof-generation-interpretable-reasoning/)** *(2020 · 101 citations)* Clark et al. (2020) showed that RuleTakers, a fine-tuned RoBERTa, can decide whether a statement follows from facts and rules written in English. However, it gives no justification for its answers. PRover addresses this by producing an answer together with an explicit proof. Each proof is a directed graph whose nodes…
3. **[A Structured Distributional Semantic Model for Event Co-reference](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/goyal-2013-structured-distributional-semantic-model-event/)** *(2013 · 24 citations)* Standard distributional semantic models treat context as a bag of words, so they cannot tell "Booth killed Lincoln" apart from "Lincoln killed Booth." They also compose meaning poorly.
