Tags often resolve which lemma is correct. In the other direction, knowing the lemma helps resolve syncretic forms, such as gender on German plural nouns. Most systems still run these steps as a pipeline, and earlier… 3. **[Understanding tables with intermediate pre-training](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/eisenschlos-2020-understanding-tables-intermediate-pre-training/)** *(2020 · 158 citations)* Table entailment means deciding whether a sentence is supported or contradicted by a table. It requires understanding language and table layout together, plus numeric and discrete operations such as comparisons and aggregations. On TabFact, models still trail humans by a wide margin. The authors convert TAPAS, a… 4. **[Open Domain Question Answering over Tables via Dense Retrieval](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/herzig-2021-open-domain-question-answering-over/)** *(2021 · 133 citations)* Most table QA systems assume the correct table is already provided. Real search engines and assistants, however, must first locate the relevant table in a large collection. This paper is the first to address open-domain QA over tables. It uses a two-stage pipeline: a dense retriever picks candidate tables, and a… ## Co-authors here 8 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Julian Eisenschlos](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/julian-eisenschlos/) ×3 - [Jonathan Herzig](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jonathan-herzig/) ×2 - [Syrine Krichene](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/syrine-krichene/) ×2 - [Alexander Fraser](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/alexander-fraser/) - [Francesco Piccinno](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/francesco-piccinno/) - [Hinrich Schütze](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hinrich-schutze/) - [Pawel Nowak](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/pawel-nowak/) - [Ryan Cotterell](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ryan-cotterell/) ## 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 2020](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2020/) - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2015](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2015/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2020](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2020/) - [Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/): [NAACL 2021](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/2021/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 487 times (of the 141,840 papers whose bibliographies we read); [31 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/thomas-muller/cited-by/).
