These are systems that use a pre-trained LLM as the reasoning core and attach perception for images, video, audio and other signals. The authors argue that LLMs reason well but cannot see, and large vision models… 2. **[Large Language Models for Generative Information Extraction: A Survey](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2023-large-language-models-generative-information/)** *(2023 · 406 citations)* Information extraction (IE) turns raw text into structured knowledge such as entities, relations and events. 3. **[Mock Worlds, Real Skills: Building Small Agentic Language Models with Synthetic Tasks, Simulated Environments, and Rubric-Based Rewards](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lyu-2026-mock-worlds-real-skills-building/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Small language models usually lag well behind large, expensive LLMs on agentic tool-use tasks. Reinforcement learning could help, but two obstacles hold it back. Public agentic datasets are narrow and often too easy, so RL rollouts give little learning signal. Real APIs are also costly, unstable and limited in scope.… 4. **[PRIME: A Process-Outcome Alignment Benchmark for Verifiable Reasoning in Mathematics and Engineering](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-prime-process-outcome-alignment-benchmark/)** *(2026)* RLVR (reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards) relies on verifiers that usually check only whether a model's final answer matches the reference. ## All works 7 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 4 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
