Existing approaches force a choice: similarity-search memory is fast but its accuracy varies, while memory managed through repeated large-model calls is more accurate but adds latency at every turn. LightMem addresses this by… 2. **[Agent-GWO: Collaborative Agents for Dynamic Prompt Optimization in Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-agent-gwo-collaborative-agents-dynamic/)** *(2026)* Reasoning quality in LLMs depends heavily on hand-written prompts and decoding settings. Small rewordings or configuration changes can cause large accuracy swings, and earlier automatic prompt optimizers usually run a single-agent local search that adjusts only the prompt. Agent-GWO addresses this by treating each… ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[UDH: Universal Deep Hiding for Steganography, Watermarking, and Light Field Messaging. ↗](https://openalex.org/W3102097413) neural information processing systems · no summary yet**Chaoning Zhang et al.*2020 · 86 citations* 2. **[Data-free Universal Adversarial Perturbation and Black-box Attack ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/iccv48922.2021.00777) IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) · no summary yet**Chaoning Zhang et al.*2021 · 70 citations* 3. **[Lightweight LLM Agent Memory with Small Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-lightweight-llm-agent-memory-small/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Jiaquan Zhang, Chaoning Zhang, Shuxu Chen, et al.*2026 · 6 citations* 4. **[Agent-GWO: Collaborative Agents for Dynamic Prompt Optimization in Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-agent-gwo-collaborative-agents-dynamic/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Xudong Wang, Chaoning Zhang, Chenghao Li, et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 4 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Jiaquan Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiaquan-zhang/) ×2 - [Jiwei Wei](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiwei-wei/) ×2 - [Shuxu Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shuxu-chen/) ×2 - [Yang Yang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yang-yang/) ×2 ## 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 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) - [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/) - IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) - neural information processing systems ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 7 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [3 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chaoning-zhang/cited-by/).
