1. **[Filling the Gaps in Ancient Akkadian Texts: A Masked Language Modelling Approach](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lazar-2021-filling-gaps-ancient-akkadian-texts/)** *(2021 · 30 citations)* Editors of damaged cuneiform tablets fill broken parts from context, and the authors treat this as masked language modelling over Oracc transliterations (about 1M words, 2.3M signs).
2. **[A Survey on Evaluation of LLM-based Agents](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yehudai-2026-survey-evaluation-llm-based-agents/)** *(2026 · 21 citations)* LLM-based agents pair a backbone model with a harness that adds tools, memory and multi-step control. Because of this, scoring only their text output no longer captures what they can do. The authors present what they call the first comprehensive survey of how such agents are evaluated. They organize the field from…
3. **[JuStRank: Benchmarking LLM Judges for System Ranking](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/gera-2025-justrank-benchmarking-llm-judges-system/)** *(2025 · 15 citations)* LLM judges are usually validated on individual responses or response pairs, without regard to which system produced them.
4. **[The Mighty ToRR: A Benchmark for Table Reasoning and Robustness in LLMs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tahan-2026-mighty-torr-benchmark-table-reasoning/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Large language models are often given tables, yet it is unclear how well they reason over them and how much their answers depend on how a table is written out.
5. **[Will it Merge? On The Causes of Model Mergeability](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/rahamim-2026-will-it-merge-causes-model/)** *(2026)* Merging combines several fine-tuned models into one multitask model without retraining, yet it is unclear why some fine-tuned updates survive merging better than others.
