This paper argues that length is the wrong lever and that the reasoning style must fit the task. The authors propose Mix-GRM. An LLM breaks free-form judge rationales into atomic Principle–Judgment–Verdict units, which are then… ## Co-authors here 12 of 21 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Yufei Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yufei-wang/) ×4 - [Chen Ma](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chen-ma/) ×3 - [Fuyuan Lyu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/fuyuan-lyu/) ×3 - [Xue Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xue-liu/) ×3 - [Can Xu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/can-xu/) ×2 - [Kai Zheng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kai-zheng/) ×2 - [Qingfeng Sun](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qingfeng-sun/) ×2 - [Chuhan Wu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chuhan-wu/) - [Haolun Wu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haolun-wu/) - [Irwin King](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/irwin-king/) - [Lei Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lei-wang/) - [Liangyou Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/liangyou-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/), [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/) - [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/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 89 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [38 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qiyuan-zhang/cited-by/).
