RESEARCH WATCH: 10.17.2021

This week was active for "Computer Science", with 1,499 new papers.

The paper discussed most in the news over the past week was by a team at University of Oxford: "lambeq: An Efficient High-Level Python Library for Quantum NLP" by Dimitri Kartsaklis et al (Oct 2021), which was referenced 99 times, including in the article Cambridge Quantum toolkit converts natural language to quantum circuits in Embedded Systems Programming. The paper author, Kartsaklis, was quoted saying "There is a lot of interesting theoretical work on QNLP, but theory usually stands at some distance from practice".
Leading researcher Yoshua Bengio (Université de Montréal) published "Dynamic Inference with Neural Interpreters".
