How those visual tokens actually shape the generated answer has been unclear. The authors study this "information flow", meaning how strongly system, image and user-prompt tokens influence answer tokens, layer by… 3. **[On the Step Length Confounding in LLM Reasoning Data Selection](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-step-length-confounding-llm-reasoning/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* The paper looks at naturalness-based selection of supervised fine-tuning data for long chain-of-thought reasoning. ## Co-authors here 12 of 14 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Chen Shen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chen-shen/) ×3 - [Jieping Ye](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jieping-ye/) ×3 - [Xiaosong Yuan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaosong-yuan/) ×3 - [Chaochen Gu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chaochen-gu/) ×2 - [Xiaofeng Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaofeng-zhang/) ×2 - [Yihao Quan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yihao-quan/) ×2 - [Bing Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bing-wang/) - [Hao Cheng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hao-cheng/) - [Hao Tang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hao-tang/) - [Jiawei Cao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiawei-cao/) - [Jun Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jun-zhang/) - [Rui Miao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/rui-miao/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/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/) - [Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/): [NAACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/2025/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 17 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [13 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shaotian-yan/cited-by/).
