1. Broad-Coverage Sense Disambiguation and Information Extraction with a Supersense Sequence Tagger (2006 · 295 citations)
   The paper argues that named entity recognition uses too few categories to be broadly useful, while fine-grained word sense disambiguation over Wordnet synsets has too many classes and too little training data to beat simple baselines.
2. Overcoming the Lack of Parallel Data in Sentence Compression (2013 · 205 citations)
   Supervised deletion-based sentence compression has long been limited by a lack of training data. Existing parallel corpora such as Ziff-Davis and the two Edinburgh sets hold only about a thousand pairs each, which makes rich or lexicalized features impractical. Filippova and Altun propose an automatic way to harvest…
3. DePlot: One-shot visual language reasoning by plot-to-table translation (2023 · 121 citations)
   Answering questions about charts and plots requires both precise extraction of the underlying values and multi-step numerical reasoning.
