The authors propose the Textual Frequency Law (TFL): among paraphrases with identical meaning, choose the one with the highest sentence-level frequency, both when prompting and when fine-tuning. Training corpora… 4. **[Toxic Subword Pruning for Dialogue Response Generation on Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lu-2026-toxic-subword-pruning-dialogue-response/)** *(2026)* Most LLM safety work assumes a well-aligned model that must be protected from harmful prompts. This paper looks at a different case: the model itself is already toxic, for example after careless fine-tuning or tampering by someone with access to the weights. The authors propose ToxPrune, a training-free decoding… ## All works 5 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 4 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Chain-of-Dictionary Prompting Elicits Translation in Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lu-2024-chain-dictionary-prompting-elicits-translation/) [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/)**Hongyuan Lu, Haoran Yang, Haoyang Huang, et al.*2024 · 81 citations* 2. **[CLEAN-EVAL: Clean Evaluation on Contaminated Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhu-2023-clean-eval-clean-evaluation-contaminated/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Wenhong Zhu, Hongkun Hao, Zhiwei He, et al.*2023 · 20 citations* 3. **[PCC: Paraphrasing with Bottom-k Sampling and Cyclic Learning for Curriculum Data Augmentation ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2023.eacl-main.5/) Proceedings of the 17th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics · no summary yet**Hongyuan Lu, Wai Lam*2023 · 9 citations* 4. **[Adam's Law: Textual Frequency Law on Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lu-2026-adam-s-law-textual-frequency/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Hongyuan Lu, Zixuan Li, Zefan Zhang, et al.*2026 · 2 citations* 5. **[Toxic Subword Pruning for Dialogue Response Generation on Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lu-2026-toxic-subword-pruning-dialogue-response/) [Joint Conference on Lexical and Computational Semantics (*SEM)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/starsem/)**Hongyuan Adam Lu, Wai Lam*2026* ## Co-authors here 9 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Wai Lam](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wai-lam/) ×3 - [Dongdong Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dongdong-zhang/) - [Furu Wei](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/furu-wei/) - [Haoran Yang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haoran-yang/) - [Haoyang Huang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haoyang-huang/) - [Hongkun Hao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hongkun-hao/) - [Rui Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/rui-wang/) - [Zhiwei He](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhiwei-he/) - [Zixuan Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zixuan-li/) ## 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/): [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2024](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2024/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2023/) - [Joint Conference on Lexical and Computational Semantics (*SEM)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/starsem/): [*SEM 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/starsem/2026/) - Proceedings of the 17th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 85 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [20 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hongyuan-adam-lu/cited-by/).
