This creates two problems. Patients struggle to understand reports they now often see before talking to a doctor. Models can also score well on n-gram metrics like BLEU simply by copying recurring report phrasing. The authors propose… 4. **[Understanding the Behaviors of Environment-aware Information Retrieval](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yuan-2026-understanding-behaviors-environment-aware-information/)** *(2026)* Agentic RAG systems often assume a single web search engine. In practice, they also query local backends such as BM25 or dense embedders, and each backend may respond best to a differently phrased query. This paper asks whether an LLM query rewriter can learn retriever-specific query styles through reinforcement… ## Co-authors here 11 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Noura Al Moubayed](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/noura-al-moubayed/) ×2 - [Yu Rong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yu-rong/) ×2 - [Chenghua Lin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chenghua-lin/) - [Deli Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/deli-zhao/) - [Hao Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hao-zhang/) - [Hong Cheng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hong-cheng/) - [Hou Pong Chan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hou-pong-chan/) - [Long Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/long-li/) - [Ruifeng Yuan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ruifeng-yuan/) - [Weiwen Xu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/weiwen-xu/) - [Yu Sun](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yu-sun/) ## 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/) - [Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/conll/): [CoNLL 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/conll/2023/) - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/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 16 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [2 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chenghao-xiao/cited-by/).
