The authors frame this with Bandura's Moral Disengagement theory and build MD-Trace, a diagnostic benchmark. It combines 80 personas from the Moral RolePlay dataset, split evenly across four moral levels from paragons to… 2. **[PersonaArena: Dynamic Simulation for Evaluating and Enhancing Persona-Level Role-Playing in Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/shi-2026-personaarena-dynamic-simulation-evaluating-enhancing/)** *(2026)* PersonaArena targets a gap in how LLM role-playing is studied. Most prior work tests famous fictional characters or celebrities, which models may simply recall from training data. It also relies on static formats such as Q&A probes or BLEU-style metrics. This paper instead examines persona-level role-play: portraying… ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Knowing-but-Doing: Diagnosing and Defending Role-Play-Driven LLMs Jailbreaks via Moral Disengagement](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/qin-2026-knowing-but-doing-diagnosing-defending/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Haiming Qin, Jianxun Lian, Qimin Zhong, et al.*2026 · 1 citation* 2. **[PersonaArena: Dynamic Simulation for Evaluating and Enhancing Persona-Level Role-Playing in Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/shi-2026-personaarena-dynamic-simulation-evaluating-enhancing/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Wenlong Shi, Jianxun Lian, Mingqi Wu, et al.*2026* 3. **[Let Retrievers Think Before Action: Thought-Augmented Embedding for Dense Retrieval ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2026.findings-acl.1603/) Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: ACL 2026 · no summary yet**Ruiran Yan et al.*2026* 4. **[Toward Consistent World Models with Multi-Token Prediction and Latent Semantic Enhancement ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2026.acl-long.618/) Proceedings of the 64th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers) · no summary yet**Qimin Zhong et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 6 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Haiming Qin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haiming-qin/) ×2 - [Jianxun Lian](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jianxun-lian/) ×2 - [Mingyang Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mingyang-zhou/) ×2 - [Naipeng Chao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/naipeng-chao/) ×2 - [Mingqi Wu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mingqi-wu/) - [Xing Xie](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xing-xie/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/) ×2: [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ×2 - Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: ACL 2026 - Proceedings of the 64th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers) Updated 1 November 2026
