Most evidence on how well automatic metrics track human judgment comes from the TAC benchmarks, which are now old and whose summaries are weaker than current neural outputs. The authors test whether those conclusions still hold for… 2. **[Phi-4-Mini Technical Report: Compact yet Powerful Multimodal Language Models via Mixture-of-LoRAs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/microsoft-2025-phi-4-mini-technical-report/)** *(2025 · 145 citations)* Small language models usually trail larger ones at reasoning. Adding vision or audio to them typically means fine-tuning the backbone, which weakens its text skills and forces teams to run several separate models. In this report, Microsoft presents Phi-4-Mini, a 3.8B-parameter decoder-only model. It was trained on… ## Also in our library 1 more work of theirs is in our library without a page here yet; it will appear as we publish them. ## Co-authors here 8 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Alon Benhaim](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/alon-benhaim/) - [Graham Neubig](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/graham-neubig/) - [Hany Hassan Awadalla](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hany-hassan-awadalla/) - [Jianmin Bao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jianmin-bao/) - [Manik Bhandari](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/manik-bhandari/) - [Nguyen Bach](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nguyen-bach/) - [Pengfei Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/pengfei-liu/) - [Vishrav Chaudhary](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/vishrav-chaudhary/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 258 times (of the 140 884 papers whose bibliographies we read); [18 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/atabak-ashfaq/cited-by/).
