Prompt-driven multi-step RAG pipelines also tend to choose poorly when and what to retrieve, and they keep reasoning and retrieval only loosely connected. 2. **[CheckRLM: Effective Knowledge–Thought Coherence Checking in Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2026-checkrlm-effective-knowledge-thought-coherence/)** *(2026)* Reasoning Language Models (RLMs) such as OpenAI-o1 and DeepSeek-R1 produce long chains of thought. On knowledge-intensive questions, a single wrong fact early in the chain can spread to later steps and corrupt the final answer, a problem known as error accumulation. CheckRLM addresses this with Retrieval-Augmented… ## All works 7 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[SALICON: Saliency in Context ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/cvpr.2015.7298710) IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings · no summary yet**Ming Xin Jiang et al.*2015 · 709 citations* 2. **[Learning to Learn From Noisy Labeled Data ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/cvpr.2019.00519) IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings · no summary yet**Junnan Li et al.*2019 · 334 citations* 3. **[Learning to Detect Human-Object Interactions With Knowledge ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/cvpr.2019.00212) IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings · no summary yet**Bingjie Xu et al.*2019 · 153 citations* 4. **[Deep Future Gaze: Gaze Anticipation on Egocentric Videos Using Adversarial Networks ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/cvpr.2017.377) IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings · no summary yet**Mengmi Zhang et al.*2017 · 103 citations* 5. **[Attention-Based Autism Spectrum Disorder Screening With Privileged Modality ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/iccv.2019.00127) IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) · no summary yet**Shi Chen, Qi Zhao*2019 · 73 citations* 6. **[R-Search: Empowering LLM Reasoning with Search via Multi-Reward Reinforcement Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhao-2026-r-search-empowering-llm-reasoning/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Qingfei Zhao, Ruobing Wang, Dingling Xu, et al.*2026 · 7 citations* 7. **[CheckRLM: Effective Knowledge–Thought Coherence Checking in Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2026-checkrlm-effective-knowledge-thought-coherence/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Dingling Xu, Ruobing Wang, Qingfei Zhao, et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 11 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Daren Zha](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/daren-zha/) ×2 - [Dingling Xu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dingling-xu/) ×2 - [Ruobing Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ruobing-wang/) ×2 - [Zhichun Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhichun-wang/) ×2 - [Maosong Sun](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/maosong-sun/) - [Shi Yu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shi-yu/) - [Shuo Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shuo-wang/) - [Xin Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xin-wang/) - [Xu Han](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xu-han/) - [Yukun Yan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yukun-yan/) - [Zhenghao Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhenghao-liu/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings ×4 - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) - IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 33 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [4 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qingfei-zhao/cited-by/).
