They cannot improve through experience, so they struggle in dynamic multi-agent settings with hidden information. Agent-Pro tackles this by treating policy learning as gradient-free prompt optimization, with no parameter updates. 2. **[Embodied-Reasoner: Synergizing Visual Search, Reasoning, and Action for Embodied Interactive Tasks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-embodied-reasoner-synergizing-visual-search/)** *(2026 · 5 citations)* Reasoning models do well at math and coding, but it is unclear whether they can handle embodied tasks. In these tasks an agent explores a room over many turns and must work with long sequences of alternating images and text. The authors present Embodied-Reasoner, a vision-language agent that combines visual search… 3. **[CoVerRL: Breaking the Consensus Trap in Label-Free Reasoning via Generator-Verifier Co-Evolution](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/pan-2026-coverrl-breaking-consensus-trap-label/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Label-free reinforcement learning for LLM reasoning usually rewards a model for matching its own majority-voted answer. ## Co-authors here 12 of 13 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Weiming Lu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/weiming-lu/) ×3 - [Wenqi Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wenqi-zhang/) ×3 - [Yongliang Shen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yongliang-shen/) ×3 - [Mengna Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mengna-wang/) ×2 - [Hang Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hang-zhang/) - [Jiajun Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiajun-liu/) - [Jun Xiao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jun-xiao/) - [Peng Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/peng-li/) - [Xin Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xin-li/) - [Yuchen Yan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yuchen-yan/) - [Yueting Zhuang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yueting-zhuang/) - [Zeqi Tan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zeqi-tan/) ## 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/) ×3: [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) ×2, [ACL 2024](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2024/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 32 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [9 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/guiyang-hou/cited-by/).
