Most German-capable systems are multilingual or adapted from English, and they say little about their training corpora. The authors close this gap with LLäMmlein, a family of German-only decoder models with 120M and 1B… 2. **[New Encoders for German Trained from Scratch: Comparing ModernGBERT with Converted LLM2Vec Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wunderle-2026-new-encoders-german-trained-scratch/)** *(2026 · 7 citations)* German NLP still relies heavily on encoder models for classification, tagging and embedding tasks, yet few modern, transparent German encoders exist, and none of them support long inputs. 3. **[Towards Knowledge Graph-Grounded Evaluation of Agentic LLMs on Cybersecurity Capture-the-Flag Challenges](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/schlor-2026-knowledge-graph-grounded-evaluation-agentic/)** *(2026)* Agentic LLMs for offensive security are usually scored on whether they capture the flag, or against ad hoc checkpoints defined per challenge. ## All works 5 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[LLäMmlein: Transparent, Compact and Competitive German-Only Language Models from Scratch](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/pfister-2025-llammlein-transparent-compact-competitive-german/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Jan Pfister, Julia Wunderle, Andreas Hotho*2025 · 15 citations* 2. **[SuperGLEBer: German Language Understanding Evaluation Benchmark ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2024.naacl-long.438/) Proceedings of the 2024 Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies (Volume 1: Long Papers) · no summary yet**Jan Pfister, Andreas Hotho*2024 · 11 citations* 3. **[New Encoders for German Trained from Scratch: Comparing ModernGBERT with Converted LLM2Vec Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wunderle-2026-new-encoders-german-trained-scratch/) [Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/)**Julia Wunderle, Anton Ehrmanntraut, Jan Pfister, et al.*2026 · 7 citations* 4. **[Analyzing Features for the Detection of Happy Endings in German Novels ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.09028) arXiv:1611.09028 · no summary yet**Fotis Jannidis et al.*2016 · 5 citations* 5. **[Towards Knowledge Graph-Grounded Evaluation of Agentic LLMs on Cybersecurity Capture-the-Flag Challenges](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/schlor-2026-knowledge-graph-grounded-evaluation-agentic/) [Knowledge Graphs and Large Language Models Workshop (KG-LLM) @ LREC26](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/kallm/)**Daniel Schlör, Marius Bohn, Maximilian Wolf, et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 3 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Jan Pfister](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jan-pfister/) ×2 - [Julia Wunderle](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/julia-wunderle/) ×2 - [Fotis Jannidis](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/fotis-jannidis/) ## 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/) - [Knowledge Graphs and Large Language Models Workshop (KG-LLM) @ LREC26](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/kallm/): [Knowledge Graphs and Large Language Models Workshop (KG-LLM) @ LREC26 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/kallm/2026/) - [Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/): [LREC 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/2026/) - Proceedings of the 2024 Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies (Volume 1: Long Papers) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 34 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [9 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/andreas-hotho/cited-by/).
