Common combiners have weaknesses. Plain majority voting gives every trace the same weight. Heuristic confidence scores average token statistics into one number, which can hide a local logical slip partway through a trace.… ## Co-authors here 9 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Xiang Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiang-wang/) ×3 - [An Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/an-zhang/) - [Chengpeng Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chengpeng-li/) - [Junfeng Fang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/junfeng-fang/) - [Kai Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kai-zhang/) - [Tao Liang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tao-liang/) - [Wei Shi](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wei-shi/) - [Xiangnan He](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiangnan-he/) - [Zhiyuan Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhiyuan-liu/) ## 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 on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/): [NeurIPS 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/2025/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 26 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [9 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/sihang-li/cited-by/).
