When a model already knows the answer, retrieval adds cost and latency and can even hurt quality. Adaptive RAG (ARAG) tries to retrieve only when needed. Earlier ARAG methods either count entity frequencies in the pre-training corpus, which is… 2. **[MemWeaver: Weaving Hybrid Memories for Traceable Long-Horizon Agentic Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ye-2026-memweaver-weaving-hybrid-memories-traceable/)** *(2026)* Conversational LLM agents that run across many sessions need memory that keeps track of when things happened, supports chaining several facts together, and lets answers be checked against what was actually said. 3. **[SceneAlign: Aligning Multimodal Reasoning to Scene Graphs in Complex Visual Scenes](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-scenealign-aligning-multimodal-reasoning-scene/)** *(2026)* Multimodal LLMs often produce rationales that sound convincing but are not tied to what the image actually shows. ## Co-authors here 10 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Lina Yao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lina-yao/) ×3 - [Julian McAuley](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/julian-mcauley/) ×2 - [Chuhan Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chuhan-wang/) - [Jingbo Shang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jingbo-shang/) - [Junda Wu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/junda-wu/) - [Kaige Xie](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kaige-xie/) - [Rui Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/rui-wang/) - [Tong Yu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tong-yu/) - [Xintong Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xintong-li/) - [Yu Xia](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yu-xia/) ## 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/) - [International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/coling/): [COLING 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/coling/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 5 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/chengkai-huang/cited-by/).
