In this setting, agents see only noisy egocentric views, rewards are sparse and delayed, and agents may join or drop out mid-task. Classic methods such as VDN, QMIX and COMA struggle under these conditions. 2. **[Tracing the Light of Thought: A Probabilistic Self- and Cross-Consistency Verification Mechanism Improving Mathematical Reasoning in LLMs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2026-tracing-light-thought-probabilistic-self/)** *(2026)* Self Consistency (SC) samples many reasoning chains and returns the most common answer. It breaks down on hard math problems, where wrong answers outnumber right ones. The authors borrow an idea from computer graphics, Metropolis Light Transport, which concentrates sampling near light paths already known to carry… ## Co-authors here 4 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Dawei Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dawei-wang/) ×2 - [Gary Ushaw](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/gary-ushaw/) ×2 - [Xiaoyang Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaoyang-liu/) ×2 - [Huizhi Liang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/huizhi-liang/) ## 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/): [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/) Updated 1 November 2026
