Prior work shows this can backfire: very strong teachers may produce answers that are too complex or too far from what the student can absorb. Earlier remedies (Mix, CAR) still make every candidate teacher answer… 2. **[Locate, Steer, and Improve: A Practical Survey of Actionable Mechanistic Interpretability in Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-locate-steer-improve-practical-survey/)** *(2026 · 9 citations)* Most earlier reviews of mechanistic interpretability (MI) in LLMs describe what researchers have discovered inside models. 3. **[ShifCon: Enhancing Non-Dominant Language Capabilities with a Shift-based Multilingual Contrastive Framework](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2025-shifcon-enhancing-non-dominant-language/)** *(2025 · 6 citations)* Multilingual LLMs fine-tuned on translated data (MSFT) still lag behind in non-dominant languages compared with English. Producing more high-quality translated supervision is costly and error-prone. ShifCon addresses this by changing how the model processes these languages internally rather than by adding data. ## Co-authors here 12 of 23 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Hengyuan Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hengyuan-zhang/) ×3 - [Chaofan Tao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chaofan-tao/) - [Dongdong Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dongdong-zhang/) - [Ercong Nie](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ercong-nie/) - [Furu Wei](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/furu-wei/) - [Hayden Kwok-Hay So](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hayden-kwok-hay-so/) - [Jing Xiong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jing-xiong/) - [Mingyang Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mingyang-wang/) - [Ngai Wong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ngai-wong/) - [Qianli Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qianli-wang/) - [Renliang Sun](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/renliang-sun/) - [Ruobing Xie](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ruobing-xie/) ## 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/) ×2: [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/), [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/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 26 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [10 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chenming-shang/cited-by/).
