Molecule captioning produces a textual description from a SMILES string. Text-guided de novo molecule generation does the reverse, producing a SMILES string that fits a given description. The main obstacle is that paired… 2. **[A Context-Dependent Gated Module for Incorporating Symbolic Semantics into Event Coreference Resolution](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lai-2021-context-dependent-gated-module-incorporating/)** *(2021 · 48 citations)* The paper addresses within-document event coreference resolution: grouping event mentions in a text that describe the same real-world event. 3. **[End-to-end Neural Coreference Resolution Revisited: A Simple yet Effective Baseline](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lai-2021-end-end-neural-coreference-resolution/)** *(2021 · 8 citations)* The paper asks whether the many extensions built on top of e2e-coref, the first end-to-end neural coreference model, are needed once a strong pretrained Transformer serves as the encoder. ## Co-authors here 8 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Heng Ji](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/heng-ji/) ×2 - [Trung Bui](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/trung-bui/) ×2 - [Carl Edwards](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/carl-edwards/) - [Doo Soon Kim](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/doo-soon-kim/) - [Franck Dernoncourt](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/franck-dernoncourt/) - [Kyunghyun Cho](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kyunghyun-cho/) - [Quan Hung Tran](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/quan-hung-tran/) - [Walter Chang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/walter-chang/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2022](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2022/) - [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 99 times (of the 141,840 papers whose bibliographies we read); [5 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tuan-lai/cited-by/).
