 Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

  1. Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis (1999 · 2,145 citations)
    Hofmann revisits Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), which compresses term-document count tables with a truncated SVD.
  2. Fully Character-Level Neural Machine Translation without Explicit Segmentation (2017 · 545 citations)
    Word- and subword-level NMT systems rely on a separate segmentation step and handle rare or unseen word forms poorly.
