Supervised KD trains on a fixed set of outputs, so it never sees the kind of text the student produces at inference time. On-policy KD trains on the student's own generations, but early on these are often poor and unfamiliar to the… 3. **[PlanGEN: A Multi-Agent Framework for Generating Planning and Reasoning Trajectories for Complex Problem Solving](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/parmar-2025-plangen-multi-agent-framework-generating/)** *(2025 · 16 citations)* LLM-based agents and test-time search methods often fail on "natural planning" tasks, such as scheduling meetings or planning trips described in plain language. ## All works 6 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. **[Found in the middle: Calibrating Positional Attention Bias Improves Long Context Utilization ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2024.findings-acl.890/) Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: ACL 2024 · no summary yet**Cheng-Yu Hsieh et al.*2024 · 61 citations* 2. **[In Prospect and Retrospect: Reflective Memory Management for Long-term Personalized Dialogue Agents](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tan-2025-prospect-retrospect-reflective-memory-management/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Zhen Tan, Jun Yan, I-Hung Hsu, et al.*2025 · 46 citations* 3.
