Most existing schemes score each layer on its own and ignore how quantization errors in one layer interact with others. CoopQ treats layers as players in a cooperative game whose payoff is the change in per-token… 2. **[Fine-Tuning vs. RAG for Multi-Hop Question Answering with Novel Knowledge](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yang-2026-fine-tuning-vs-rag-multi/)** *(2026)* The paper asks whether the way new knowledge is supplied to an LLM matters for open-domain multi-hop question answering, especially when the facts postdate the model's pretraining. ## Co-authors here 2 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Yurun Song](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yurun-song/) - [Zhuoyi Yang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhuoyi-yang/) ## 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/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) - [Workshop on Generation, Evaluation and Metrics (GEM)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/gem/): [GEM 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/gem/2026/) Updated 2 November 2026
