Identifying Missing Relevant Personas for Faithful User Simulation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/su-2026-is-he-extroverted-identifying-missing/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* User simulators built on LLMs usually take the supplied persona as adequate. When a trait that drives a decision is absent, the simulated answer may be plausible but still wrong. This paper treats that gap as a new task: given a dialogue context and a minimal persona (age, gender, relation to the interlocutor), name… 2. **[Tracing Multilingual Knowledge Acquisition Dynamics in Domain Adaptation: A Case Study of Biomedical Adaptation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhao-2026-tracing-multilingual-knowledge-acquisition-dynamics/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* The paper investigates how multilingual LLMs pick up domain knowledge during continual training, and why that knowledge rarely moves from one language to another. 3. **[Query-Focused Individual Simulation with Progressive Persona Completion](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/su-2026-query-focused-individual-simulation-progressive/)** *(2026)* LLM-based simulators that predict how a specific person would answer usually rely on detailed profiles, which are rarely available for ordinary people. ## 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. **[Data augmentation using back-translation for context-aware neural machine translation ↗](https://aclanthology.org/D19-6504/) Proceedings of the Fourth Workshop on Discourse in Machine Translation (DiscoMT 2019) · no summary yet**Amane Sugiyama, Naoki Yoshinaga*2019 · 125 citations* 2. **[Learning to Describe Unknown Phrases with Local and Global Contexts ↗](https://aclanthology.org/N19-1350/) Proceedings of the 2019 Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies, Volume 1 (Long and Short Papers) · no summary yet**Shonosuke Ishiwatari et al.*2019 · 81 citations* 3. **[Learning to Describe Phrases with Local and Global Contexts ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.00266) arXiv (Cornell University) · no summary yet**Shonosuke Ishiwatari et al.*2018 · 2 citations* 4. **[Is He Extroverted?
