MavenCoder addresses both with three… 2. **[SeDev: Structured Semantic Exploration for LLM-Driven Code Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yang-2026-sedev-structured-semantic-exploration-llm/)** *(2026)* LLM-based multi-agent systems still struggle to build complete, multi-module software. Feedback-refinement pipelines follow a single trajectory and tend to settle in local optima. MCTS-style search explores more alternatives but becomes very costly. SeDev addresses this by making exploration explicit and cheap. 3. **[Unlocking Human-Like Visible Logic: How Logic Diagrams Boost Logic Reasoning in Large Language Models?](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wu-2026-unlocking-human-like-visible-logic/)** *(2026)* Large language models frequently reach fluent but logically unsound conclusions in formal reasoning. Text alone struggles to encode set boundaries, inclusion and overlap. The authors test whether giving vision-language models a logic diagram alongside the textual premises helps, much as people sketch diagrams to… ## Co-authors here 7 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Yi Cai](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yi-cai/) ×3 - [Jiexin Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiexin-wang/) ×2 - [Bo An](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bo-an/) - [Jie Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jie-liu/) - [li Yuan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/li-yuan/) - [Qingbao Huang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qingbao-huang/) - [Xin Wu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xin-wu/) ## 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/) ×2 - [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/) Updated 2 November 2026
