When a document uses many pronouns, modifiers and varied noun phrases for the same entities, models lose track of the referents, especially in mid-document passages. The authors propose Long Question Coreference Adaptation (LQCA), a preprocessing pipeline that rewrites the… 3. **[Compiling Activation Steering into Weights via Null-Space Constraints for Stealthy Backdoors](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yin-2026-compiling-activation-steering-into-weights/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* The paper looks at supply-chain backdoors in safety-aligned LLMs. In this setting, an attacker with write access to a checkpoint wants a hidden trigger to unlock harmful answers, while the model behaves normally otherwise. Earlier weight-editing attacks such as JailbreakEdit train the model to open with an agreeing… 4. **[“I See What You Did There”: Can Large Vision-Language Models Understand Multimodal Puns?](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2026-i-see-what-you-did/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* The paper asks whether vision-language models (VLMs) actually understand multimodal puns or only react to playful-looking content. ## Co-authors here 12 of 15 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Shouling Ji](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shouling-ji/) ×3 - [Changjiang Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/changjiang-li/) ×2 - [Chunyi Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chunyi-zhou/) ×2 - [Jinbao Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jinbao-li/) ×2 - [Jun Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jun-wang/) ×2 - [Naen Xu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/naen-xu/) ×2 - [Zhihui Fu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhihui-fu/) ×2 - [Bo Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bo-li/) - [Jiannan Cao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiannan-cao/) - [Jianwei Yin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jianwei-yin/) - [Ting Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ting-wang/) - [Xinyue Peng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xinyue-peng/) ## 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 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) ×2 ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 211 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [27 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tianyu-du/cited-by/).
