They do this poorly for code, partly because training masks tokens uniformly at random, ignoring program grammar. As a result, models often produce syntactically broken drafts and miss long-range relations such as… 2. **[EdgeFormer: Latency-Aware Collaborative Multi-Head Attention of Transformer Inference in Edge Networks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yao-2026-edgeformer-latency-aware-collaborative-multi/)** *(2026)* Cloud-hosted Transformer models require users to send potentially sensitive data to third parties. Splitting inference across trusted edge devices keeps data local, but earlier systems partition the model statically and treat multi-head attention as one indivisible unit. EdgeFormer addresses both problems. First, it… 3. **[OntoGuard: Enforcing Action Admissibility for LLM Agents in Complex Interactive Environments](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2026-ontoguard-enforcing-action-admissibility-llm/)** *(2026)* LLM agents in interactive simulators often hallucinate. They attempt actions that are impossible in the current state or that break the required order of steps. Methods based on imitation or sparse-reward learning only fit the statistics of the data and never represent these rules explicitly. OntoGuard is a… ## Co-authors here 10 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Dawei Xiang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dawei-xiang/) - [Jinghan Cao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jinghan-cao/) - [Jun HU](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jun-hu/) - [Junjie Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/junjie-wang/) - [Shangqian Gao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shangqian-gao/) - [Tingting Yu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tingting-yu/) - [Wei Xiong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wei-xiong/) - [Yiming Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yiming-chen/) - [Yiming Zeng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yiming-zeng/) - [Zexin Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zexin-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/): [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/) - [Workshop on Structured Understanding, Retrieval, and Generation in the LLM Era](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/surgellm/): [Workshop on Structured Understanding, Retrieval, and Generation in the LLM Era 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/surgellm/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 2 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [1 citing paper with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tao-ren/cited-by/).
