Automation for acronym et al. with IEEEtran

Question

I use bibliographstyle IEEEtran and I am totally fine with the references in square brackets with numbers. I was wondering if there is a possibility to read in specific sections the name of the first author and create a reference like the following:

Shelhamer et al. [7]

I am totally fine with creating a new command for this if something like this is not possible.

I suggest you (a) load the natbib citation management package with the option numbers, specify the IEEEtranN bibliography style (basically, it's the IEEEtran bib style optimized for use with natbib), and use citet instructions (instead of the regular cite instructions) to create the desired form of the citation call-outs.

documentclass{article}

begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{mybib.bib}
@misc{shelhamer, author = "Shelhamer and others", title = "Thoughts", year = 3001}
end{filecontents}

usepackage[numbers]{natbib}
bibliographystyle{IEEEtranN}

begin{document}
citet{shelhamer}
bibliography{mybib}
end{document}
