Parallel code that comes with executable tests is scarce, and training on many language pairs at once tends to favor the easier directions. BootTrans tackles both with reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards. It starts… 4. **[CascadeFix: Multi-Location Program Repair via Cascading Planning and Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-cascadefix-multi-location-program-repair/)** *(2026)* Most LLM-based automated program repair (APR) tools handle bugs one location at a time, following line order. They struggle when a single bug must be fixed in several non-contiguous code hunks. On such multi-location bugs, success rates of state-of-the-art methods fall from about 52% to 13%. 5. **[How do Visual Attributes Influence Web Agents? A Comprehensive Evaluation of User Interface Design Factors](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yu-2026-how-do-visual-attributes-influence/)** *(2026)* The paper asks how purely visual properties of a webpage steer the choices of VLM-based web agents in benign, non-adversarial settings. Earlier work covered mainly textual signals (price, ratings) or attacks. The authors build VAF, a three-stage evaluation pipeline: 6. **[Seeing Beyond Words: MatVQA for Challenging Visual-Scientific Reasoning in Materials Science](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wu-2026-seeing-beyond-words-matvqa-challenging/)** *(2026)* Existing materials-science QA benchmarks such as MaScQA and SciQA are mostly text-only. They do not test whether multimodal models can read experimental figures and reason about them at a research level. The authors present MatVQA, a benchmark of 1,672 multiple-choice questions built from recent arXiv materials… ## Co-authors here 12 of 21 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Han Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/han-wang/) ×2 - [Bang Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bang-liu/) - [Chen Shen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chen-shen/) - [Dani Yogatama](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dani-yogatama/) - [Hongyuan Mei](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hongyuan-mei/) - [Jack W.
