Chain-of-Thought style test-time scaling also has a weakness: it only works if the model produces the critical tokens correctly. The authors trained GPT-2 on AQuA and tracked gradient norms layer by layer. Tokens the model gets right settle… 2. **[Improving Reasoning Capabilities in Small Models through Mixture-of-layers Distillation with Stepwise Attention on Key Information](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/chen-2025-improving-reasoning-capabilities-small-models/)** *(2025 · 10 citations)* Small language models are cheaper to deploy than large ones but reason less well. Chain-of-Thought (CoT) distillation usually just trains them on teacher-written rationales, with every token weighted the same. The authors observe that teacher models such as Llama3-8B shift their attention from step to step toward the… 3. **[HyperMem: Hypergraph Memory for Long-Term Conversations](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yue-2026-hypermem-hypergraph-memory-long-term/)** *(2026)* Conversational agents need memory that persists across long dialogues, but their context windows are fixed. ## All works 5 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Adaptive Attentional Network for Few-Shot Knowledge Graph Completion ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2020.emnlp-main.131/) Proceedings of the 2020 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP) · no summary yet**Jiawei Sheng et al.*2020 · 147 citations* 2. **[CasEE: A Joint Learning Framework with Cascade Decoding for Overlapping Event Extraction ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2021.findings-acl.14/) Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: ACL-IJCNLP 2021 · no summary yet**Jiawei Sheng et al.*2021 · 96 citations* 3. **[Inner Thinking Transformer: Leveraging Dynamic Depth Scaling to Foster Adaptive Internal Thinking](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/chen-2025-inner-thinking-transformer-leveraging-dynamic/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Yilong Chen, Junyuan Shang, Zhenyu Zhang, et al.*2025 · 16 citations* 4. **[Improving Reasoning Capabilities in Small Models through Mixture-of-layers Distillation with Stepwise Attention on Key Information](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/chen-2025-improving-reasoning-capabilities-small-models/) [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/)**Yao Chen, Jiawei Sheng, Wenyuan Zhang, et al.*2025 · 10 citations* 5. **[HyperMem: Hypergraph Memory for Long-Term Conversations](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yue-2026-hypermem-hypergraph-memory-long-term/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Juwei Yue, Chuanrui Hu, Jiawei Sheng, et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 11 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Tingwen Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tingwen-liu/) ×3 - [Wenyuan Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wenyuan-zhang/) ×2 - [Haifeng Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haifeng-wang/) - [Hua Ren Wu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hua-ren-wu/) - [Junyuan Shang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/junyuan-shang/) - [Juwei Yue](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/juwei-yue/) - [Li Guo](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/li-guo/) - [Shuohuan Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shuohuan-wang/) - [Yao Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yao-chen/) - [Yu Sun](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yu-sun/) - [Zhenyu Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhenyu-zhang/) ## 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/) ×2: [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/), [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/) - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/) ×2: [EMNLP 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2025/) - Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: ACL-IJCNLP 2021 ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 61 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [16 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiawei-sheng/cited-by/).
