A Case Study in Survey Design](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tjuatja-2024-do-llms-exhibit-human-like/)** *(2024 · 140 citations)* The paper asks whether LLMs react to changes in survey question wording the way people do. Humans show systematic response biases in surveys, so a model's sensitivity to prompt phrasing could be useful if it matched those human patterns. To test this, the authors took expert-written questions from Pew Research's… 2. **[Scaling Collaborative Effort with Agents](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/shen-2026-scaling-collaborative-effort-agents/)** *(2026 · 7 citations)* This position paper argues that LLM agents are mostly built and judged as one-shot task finishers. That suits poorly the many real tasks where user goals are vague and change as work proceeds. The authors present five case studies (data analysis, travel planning, financial advising, education, math discovery). In… 3. **[Coding Agents with Multimodal Browsing are Generalist Problem Solvers](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/soni-2026-coding-agents-multimodal-browsing-are/)** *(2026 · 5 citations)* Strong LLM agents for software engineering, deep research and web navigation are usually specialists. Each is built around tools and workflows tuned for a narrow set of benchmarks, so it breaks down outside its home domain. The authors ask whether a single agent with a small set of general-purpose tools can match… ## All works 12 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Do LLMs Exhibit Human-like Response Biases?
