1. **[Does Gender Matter? Towards Fairness in Dialogue Systems](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2020-does-gender-matter-fairness-dialogue/)** *(2020 · 133 citations)* Dialogue systems learn from real human conversations, so they can pick up social prejudices. Their fairness had received little systematic study. The authors examine whether popular dialogue models treat genders (male vs. female) and races differently, with race represented as standard English vs. African American…
2. **[Unveiling Privacy Risks in LLM Agent Memory](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2025-unveiling-privacy-risks-llm-agent/)** *(2025 · 33 citations)* LLM agents often keep a long-term memory of earlier user queries paired with the solutions they produced, and they reuse these records as in-context examples.
3. **[Towards Knowledge Checking in Retrieval-augmented Generation: A Representation Perspective](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zeng-2025-knowledge-checking-retrieval-augmented-generation/)** *(2025 · 14 citations)* RAG systems often fail when the retrieved passages are misleading (for example, after PoisonedRAG-style injection of false answers) or only loosely related to the question. LLMs tend to trust such context over what they already know. The authors frame knowledge checking as four tasks:
4. **[How Memory Management Impacts LLM Agents: An Empirical Study of Experience-Following Behavior](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xiong-2026-how-memory-management-impacts-llm/)** *(2026 · 13 citations)* LLM agents often keep an episodic memory of earlier task queries and their execution trajectories, then retrieve similar records as in-context demonstrations.
5. **[Empowering GraphRAG with Knowledge Filtering and Integration](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/guo-2025-empowering-graphrag-knowledge-filtering-integration/)** *(2025 · 12 citations)* Graph retrieval-augmented generation (GraphRAG) supplements LLMs with facts from knowledge graphs, but the authors show it has two weaknesses.
6. **[Evaluating and Mitigating Inherent Linguistic Bias of African American English through Inference](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/dacon-2022-evaluating-mitigating-inherent-linguistic-bias/)** *(2022 · 6 citations)* NLP models trained mostly on Standard American English (SAE) often misjudge text in African American English (AAE).
