A Systematic Study on Document-Level Literary Translation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tan-2026-what-does-llm-refinement-actually/)** *(2026)* Iterative self-refinement means an LLM repeatedly revises its own draft translation. Earlier studies mostly applied it to sentences or paragraphs and reported only overall quality, so its behaviour on full documents was poorly understood.
