1. **[WN-Salience: A Corpus of News Articles with Entity Salience Annotations](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wu-2020-wn-salience-corpus-news-articles/)** *(2020 · 11 citations)* Research on entity salience, which asks which of the many entities in a text are actually central to it, has been held back by a shortage of suitable data.
2. **[ChatR1: Reinforcement Learning for Conversational Reasoning and Retrieval Augmented Question Answering](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lupart-2026-chatr1-reinforcement-learning-conversational-reasoning/)** *(2026 · 5 citations)* Conversational question answering (CQA) is hard because later user turns often leave things unstated and rely on earlier dialogue.
3. **[Query Decomposition for RAG: Balancing Exploration-Exploitation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/petcu-2026-query-decomposition-rag-balancing-exploration/)** *(2026 · 2 citations)* In RAG, complex requests are often split into sub-queries. Pulling a fixed number of documents for each one, however, floods the generator with irrelevant text and can overflow the context window. Petcu et al. treat the choice of which sub-query to read from, and how far down its ranked list to go, as a multi-armed…
