Instead, it organizes the literature on explaining Transformer-based language models into a single taxonomy. Methods are split… 2. **[The Impact of Reasoning Step Length on Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/jin-2024-impact-reasoning-step-length-large/)** *(2024 · 119 citations)* Chain of Thought (CoT) prompting helps large language models reason, but it is unclear which part of a CoT prompt drives the gains. ## Co-authors here 6 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Mengnan Du](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mengnan-du/) ×2 - [Dawei Yin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dawei-yin/) - [Fan Yang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/fan-yang/) - [Hanjie Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hanjie-chen/) - [Shuaiqiang Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shuaiqiang-wang/) - [Yongfeng Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yongfeng-zhang/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 219 times (of the 140 884 papers whose bibliographies we read); [8 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haiyan-zhao/cited-by/).
