Many implementations are closed or tied to specific setups, and datasets and retrieval corpora are scattered and inconsistently formatted. General-purpose frameworks such as LangChain and LlamaIndex hide too much of the internals for research… 2. **[ATIR: Towards Audio-Text Interleaved Contextual Retrieval](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhao-2026-atir-audio-text-interleaved-contextual/)** *(2026)* The paper tackles retrieval where queries and documents mix spoken and written segments in sequence, as in multi-turn chats with voice assistants or recorded lectures. 3. **[R^3AG: Retriever Routing for Retrieval-Augmented Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhao-2026-r-textasciicircum3ag-retriever-routing-retrieval/)** *(2026)* Most RAG pipelines use one fixed retriever, even though queries differ in which retriever helps them most, and some questions are answered better with no retrieval at all. ## Co-authors here 9 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Yutao Zhu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yutao-zhu/) ×3 - [Zhicheng Dou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhicheng-dou/) ×3 - [Chenghao Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chenghao-zhang/) ×2 - [Guanting Dong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/guanting-dong/) - [Ji-Rong Wen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ji-rong-wen/) - [Jiajie Jin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiajie-jin/) - [Xinyu Yang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xinyu-yang/) - [Yuyao Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yuyao-zhang/) - [Zhao Yang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhao-yang/) ## 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 - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 68 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [22 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tong-zhao/cited-by/).
