1. TextWorld: A Learning Environment for Text-based Games (2018 · 331 citations)
   Text adventure games such as Zork are a hard testbed for reinforcement learning. Both the observations and the actions are free-form, compositional language, the world is only partly visible, and rewards are rare. Hand-written games of this kind remain out of reach for current agents. The authors present TextWorld, a…
2. Representation of Linguistic Form and Function in Recurrent Neural Networks (2017 · 191 citations)
   The paper addresses a gap in how we understand RNNs for language. Their hidden states are hard to interpret, and most interpretability work has focused on vision models rather than recurrent language models. Kádár, Chrupała and Alishahi propose two analysis tools:
