The authors ask whether knowledge editing can fix the specific toxic parts of a model instead of only masking them. 2. **[Beyond Prompt Engineering: Robust Behavior Control in LLMs via Steering Target Atoms](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2025-beyond-prompt-engineering-robust-behavior/)** *(2025 · 14 citations)* The paper addresses how to control LLM behavior at inference time, especially safety, without relying on fragile system prompts. 3. **[Too Good to be Bad: On the Failure of LLMs to Role-Play Villains](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yi-2026-too-good-be-bad-failure/)** *(2026 · 3 citations)* LLMs are increasingly used for interactive fiction, games and co-written stories, yet nobody had systematically checked whether they can convincingly play antagonists. 4. **[Why Steering Works: Toward a Unified View of Language Model Parameter Dynamics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2026-why-steering-works-unified-view/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Methods for controlling LLM behaviour are usually studied separately, with different assumptions and evaluation setups. 5. **[Social Welfare Function Leaderboard: On the Emergence of LLM Agents as the Welfare Dictator](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/shi-2026-social-welfare-function-leaderboard-emergence/)** *(2026)* LLMs are increasingly used in consequential settings, but little is known about the values they apply when distributing scarce resources. ## Co-authors here 12 of 26 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Huajun Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/huajun-chen/) ×3 - [Ningyu Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ningyu-zhang/) ×3 - [Shumin Deng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shumin-deng/) ×3 - [Ziwen Xu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ziwen-xu/) ×3 - [Fanghua Ye](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/fanghua-ye/) ×2 - [Qu Yang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qu-yang/) ×2 - [Ruotian Ma](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ruotian-ma/) ×2 - [Xingyu Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xingyu-chen/) ×2 - [Yunzhi Yao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yunzhi-yao/) ×2 - [Zhaopeng Tu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhaopeng-tu/) ×2 - [Haiwen Hong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haiwen-hong/) - [Hui Xue](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hui-xue/) ## 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/) ×3: [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/), [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/), [ACL 2024](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2024/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/) ×2: [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ×2 ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 75 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/mengru-wang/cited-by/).
