Most knowledge-graph (KG) augmented methods simply walk along graph edges, which leaves constraints such as time filters or counting to be handled afterwards. Classical semantic parsing expresses this logic in executable queries, but it depends on scarce… ## 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. **[SentSim: Crosslingual Semantic Evaluation of Machine Translation ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2021.naacl-main.252/) Proceedings of the 2021 Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies · no summary yet**Yurun Song, Junchen Zhao, Lucia Specia*2021 · 37 citations* 2. **[Fine-Tuning vs. RAG for Multi-Hop Question Answering with Novel Knowledge](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yang-2026-fine-tuning-vs-rag-multi/) [Workshop on Generation, Evaluation and Metrics (GEM)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/gem/)**Zhuoyi Yang, Yurun Song, Kyler G.
