This work argues that this leaves a gap: stronger reasoning lets models decode ciphers invented on the spot, and defenders cannot anticipate such ciphers in alignment data. 2. **[UnSeenTimeQA: Time-Sensitive Question-Answering Beyond LLMs' Memorization](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/uddin-2025-unseentimeqa-time-sensitive-question-answering/)** *(2025 · 14 citations)* Benchmarks for time-sensitive question answering (TSQA), such as TimeQA, TempReason and MenatQA, are built from real-world Wikidata/Wikipedia facts. 3. **[FAMA: Failure-Aware Meta-Agentic Framework for Open-Source LLMs in Interactive Tool Use Environments](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/saeidi-2026-fama-failure-aware-meta-agentic/)** *(2026)* LLM-driven agents in multi-turn customer-service tool-use settings often fail because early wrong decisions compound over the conversation. ## Co-authors here 8 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Chitta Baral](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chitta-baral/) ×3 - [Divij Handa](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/divij-handa/) ×2 - [Md Nayem Uddin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/md-nayem-uddin/) ×2 - [Ali Payani](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ali-payani/) - [Eduardo Blanco](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/eduardo-blanco/) - [Gaowen Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/gaowen-liu/) - [Jayanth Srinivasa](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jayanth-srinivasa/) - [Shrinidhi Kumbhar](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shrinidhi-kumbhar/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 25 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [5 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/amir-saeidi/cited-by/).
