1. BERTje: A Dutch BERT Model (2019 · 360 citations)
   Multilingual BERT covers Dutch, but it was trained only on Wikipedia, which is a narrow domain, and it shares its capacity across 104 languages.
2. Semantic-Head-Driven Generation (1990 · 205 citations)
   The paper addresses tactical generation: producing a sentence from a logical-form encoding of its meaning using unification-based or logic grammars, such as DCG, PATR-II and HPSG-style grammars.
