Its interfaces are dense, its screens are large, and everyday requests often require moving between several programs. The Microsoft authors present UFO, an agent that turns natural-language instructions into executed GUI actions on Windows. It relies on two… 2. **[Learning from Mistakes: Negative Reasoning Samples Enhance Out-of-Domain Generalization](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xueyun-2026-learning-mistakes-negative-reasoning-samples/)** *(2026)* SFT on distilled chain-of-thought data usually relies on rejection sampling, which keeps only trajectories whose final answer is correct. 3. **[PARIF: Pushing the Pareto Frontier of Instruction Following and Reasoning with Curriculum Reinforcement Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mu-2026-parif-pushing-pareto-frontier-instruction/)** *(2026)* Large Reasoning Models handle complex problems well but often ignore explicit constraints in user instructions. 4. **[TabGuard: Agentic LLM Orchestration for Adaptive Tabular Anomaly Detection via Dynamic Validator Selection and Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/unnikrishnan-2026-tabguard-agentic-llm-orchestration-adaptive/)** *(2026)* TabGuard tackles column-level anomaly detection in heterogeneous tables, which mix identifiers, numbers, and free text. Rule-based checkers need manual setup for every schema. Statistical detectors miss semantic errors. Running an LLM on every cell costs too much at enterprise scale. ## Co-authors here 12 of 17 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Bing Qin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bing-qin/) - [Bingbing Xu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bingbing-xu/) - [Bo Qiao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bo-qiao/) - [Dongmei Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dongmei-zhang/) - [Heng Dong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/heng-dong/) - [Huawei Shen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/huawei-shen/) - [Ming Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ming-liu/) - [Qi Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qi-zhang/) - [Qingwei Lin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qingwei-lin/) - [Saravan Rajmohan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/saravan-rajmohan/) - [Tian Xueyun](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tian-xueyun/) - [Wei Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wei-li/) ## 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 - [Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/): [NAACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/2025/) - [Workshop on Structured Understanding, Retrieval, and Generation in the LLM Era](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/surgellm/): [Workshop on Structured Understanding, Retrieval, and Generation in the LLM Era 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/surgellm/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 30 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [12 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/minghua-ma/cited-by/).
