As stored interactions pile up, raw and unstructured memory becomes noisy and harder to search. MemInsight addresses this by having an LLM backbone enrich each memory entry automatically with attribute–value annotations, without a… 3. **[Barriers to Discrete Reasoning with Transformers: A Survey Across Depth, Exactness, and Bandwidth](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yuan-2026-barriers-discrete-reasoning-transformers-survey/)** *(2026 · 3 citations)* The survey asks why transformer models, despite strong results in language and vision, remain unreliable at exact symbolic work such as arithmetic, Boolean logic, parsing, and multi-step algorithmic composition. 4. **[MT-OSC: Path for LLMs that Get Lost in Multi-Turn Conversation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/singh-2026-mt-osc-path-llms-that/)** *(2026 · 3 citations)* LLMs perform noticeably worse when a task's instructions and context are spread across several dialogue turns. ## All works 5 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 4 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Cold-start Active Learning through Self-supervised Language Modeling ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2020.emnlp-main.637/) Proceedings of the 2020 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP) · no summary yet**Michelle Yuan, Hsuan-Tien Lin, Jordan Boyd-Graber*2020 · 229 citations* 2. **[Adapting Coreference Resolution Models through Active Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yuan-2022-adapting-coreference-resolution-models-through/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Michelle Yuan, Patrick Xia, Chandler May, et al.*2022 · 35 citations* 3. **[MemInsight: Autonomous Memory Augmentation for LLM Agents](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/salama-2025-meminsight-autonomous-memory-augmentation-llm/) [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/)**Rana Salama, Jason Cai, Michelle Yuan, et al.*2025 · 22 citations* 4. **[Barriers to Discrete Reasoning with Transformers: A Survey Across Depth, Exactness, and Bandwidth](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yuan-2026-barriers-discrete-reasoning-transformers-survey/) [Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/eacl/)**Michelle Yuan, Weiyi Sun, Amir H.
