LLMs tend to trust such context over what they already know. The authors frame knowledge checking as four tasks: 2. **[Towards Context-Robust LLMs: A Gated Representation Fine-tuning Approach](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zeng-2025-context-robust-llms-gated-representation/)** *(2025 · 5 citations)* LLMs that receive retrieved passages, as in RAG, tend to trust that text too much. Misleading or off-topic passages can override knowledge the model already has. The authors define a "context-robust" LLM by four behaviours: ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Towards Knowledge Checking in Retrieval-augmented Generation: A Representation Perspective](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zeng-2025-knowledge-checking-retrieval-augmented-generation/) [Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/)**Shenglai Zeng, Jiankun Zhang, Bingheng Li, et al.*2025 · 14 citations* 2. **[Towards Context-Robust LLMs: A Gated Representation Fine-tuning Approach](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zeng-2025-context-robust-llms-gated-representation/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Shenglai Zeng, Pengfei He, Kai Guo, et al.*2025 · 5 citations* 3. **[AmazonQAC: A Large-Scale, Naturalistic Query Autocomplete Dataset ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2024.emnlp-industry.78/) Proceedings of the 2024 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing: Industry Track · no summary yet**Dante Everaert et al.*2024 · 3 citations* 4. **[Attn-GS: Attention-Guided Context Compression for Efficient Personalized LLMs ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2026.acl-long.1663/) Proceedings of the 64th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers) · no summary yet**Shenglai Zeng et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 10 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Hanqing Lu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hanqing-lu/) ×2 - [Hui Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hui-liu/) ×2 - [Shenglai Zeng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shenglai-zeng/) ×2 - [Yue Xing](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yue-xing/) ×2 - [Jiankun Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiankun-zhang/) - [Jiliang Tang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiliang-tang/) - [Kai Guo](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kai-guo/) - [Monica Xiao Cheng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/monica-xiao-cheng/) - [Pengfei He](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/pengfei-he/) - [Yuping Lin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yuping-lin/) ## 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/) ×2: [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/) - [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/) - Proceedings of the 2024 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing: Industry Track ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 15 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [2 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tianqi-zheng/cited-by/).
