Closed models like ChatGPT handle this far better. The paper presents ToolLLM, a pipeline that covers data, training and evaluation. 2. **[RAGEval: Scenario Specific RAG Evaluation Dataset Generation Framework](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhu-2025-rageval-scenario-specific-rag-evaluation/)** *(2025 · 34 citations)* Testing RAG systems in specialised fields such as law, finance or medicine is hard. Building expert-annotated, domain-specific test sets is expensive and raises privacy issues, and lexical metrics like BLEU or ROUGE-L judge long answers poorly. RAGEval addresses this by generating evaluation data automatically.… 3. **[ResearchTown: Simulator of Human Research Community](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yu-2024-researchtown-simulator-human-research-community/)** *(2024 · 23 citations)* Can a community of LLM agents reproduce how human scientists produce and assess research? The authors address this with ResearchTown, a multi-agent simulator that models a research community as an agent-data graph. ## All works 4 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.
