1. **[Reasoning with Language Model Prompting: A Survey](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/qiao-2022-reasoning-language-model-prompting-survey/)** *(2022 · 161 citations)* This survey maps the fast-growing work on getting large language models to reason through prompting rather than through task-specific architectures.
2. **[Exploring Collaboration Mechanisms for LLM Agents: A Social Psychology View](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2024-exploring-collaboration-mechanisms-llm-agents/)** *(2024 · 131 citations)* Systems built from several large language model agents are increasingly used for hard tasks, but it is unclear how their collaboration works or whether it resembles human group behaviour.
3. **[Detoxifying Large Language Models via Knowledge Editing](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2024-detoxifying-large-language-models-knowledge/)** *(2024 · 84 citations)* Safety-aligned LLMs can still be steered into harmful output when a malicious request is wrapped in a carefully engineered jailbreak prompt. The authors ask whether knowledge editing can fix the specific toxic parts of a model instead of only masking them.
4. **[CBLUE: A Chinese Biomedical Language Understanding Evaluation Benchmark](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2021-cblue-chinese-biomedical-language/)** *(2021 · 71 citations)* Biomedical NLP evaluation resources such as BLURB and PubMedQA are almost entirely English. Chinese, spoken by roughly a quarter of humanity, has had no shared yardstick for medical language understanding. The authors address this with CBLUE, which they describe as the first Chinese benchmark of its kind. It combines…
