This helps with tasks like table question answering, but it is expensive because long linearized inputs force truncation. The authors also show it is weaker on tasks that involve only tables, such as filling in missing cells. ## All works 3 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. **[Deep Unordered Composition Rivals Syntactic Methods for Text Classification](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/iyyer-2015-deep-unordered-composition-rivals-syntactic/)**Mohit Iyyer, Varun Manjunatha, Jordan Boyd-Graber, et al.*[Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/) · 920 citations* 2. **[TABBIE: Pretrained Representations of Tabular Data](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/iida-2021-tabbie-pretrained-representations-tabular-data/)**Hiroshi Iida, Dung Thai, Varun Manjunatha, et al.*[Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/) · 186 citations* 3. **[AnalystBench: Benchmarking professional long-form report generation with web-mined multimodal tasks](https://aclanthology.org/2026.findings-acl.1197/) · original ↗ · no summary yet · Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: ACL 2026**Chau Minh Pham et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 3 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Mohit Iyyer](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mohit-iyyer/) ×2 - [Hal Daumé III](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hal-daume-iii/) - [Jordan Boyd-Graber](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jordan-boyd-graber/) ## 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 2015](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2015/) - [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/) - Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics… ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 269 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/varun-manjunatha/cited-by/).
