Earlier style-transfer models mix sentiment and meaning in one dense hidden vector, so their outputs often drift off-topic. Xu et al. split the task between two cooperating components. 2. **[Implicit Discourse Relation Classification via Multi-Task Neural Networks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2016-implicit-discourse-relation-classification-multi/)** *(2016 · 162 citations)* When no explicit connective such as "but" or "because" is present, identifying the discourse relation between two text spans is hard. ## Co-authors here 7 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Houfeng Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/houfeng-wang/) - [Jingjing Xu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jingjing-xu/) - [Sujian Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/sujian-li/) - [Wenjie Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wenjie-li/) - [Xu Sun](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xu-sun/) - [Yang Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yang-liu/) - [Zhifang Sui](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhifang-sui/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 172 times (of the 140,884 papers whose bibliographies we read); [36 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaodong-zhang/cited-by/).
