Scoring them automatically is hard. Classic AES systems depend on handcrafted features and cannot process images. Single-MLLM scorers tend to invent justifications and grade more harshly than human raters. CAFES addresses this by dividing… 3. **[Mixture of Heterogeneous Grouped Experts for Language Modeling](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ma-2026-mixture-heterogeneous-grouped-experts-language/)** *(2026)* Standard Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models use experts of one fixed size, so every token receives the same compute regardless of how hard it is to predict. 4. **[Probing the Plasticity and Correlation of LLM Value Systems: LLM Value Rankings are Not Stable](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tang-2026-probing-plasticity-correlation-llm-value/)** *(2026)* Earlier work found that different LLMs rank their values in similar ways. This paper asks whether those rankings stay fixed when the model is pushed by its context, and whether some values tend to shift together. The authors build on the LITMUSVALUES setup. Models face two-action dilemmas, each action tied to one of… ## 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. **[Active Prompting with Chain-of-Thought for Large Language Models ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.12246) arXiv:2302.12246 · no summary yet**Shizhe Diao et al.*2023 · 201 citations* 2. **[MAPO: Advancing Multilingual Reasoning through Multilingual-Alignment-as-Preference Optimization](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/she-2024-mapo-advancing-multilingual-reasoning-through/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Shuaijie She, Wei Zou, Shujian Huang, et al.*2024 · 59 citations* 3. **[CAFES: A Collaborative Multi-Agent Framework for Multi-Granular Multimodal Essay Scoring](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/su-2026-cafes-collaborative-multi-agent-framework/) [Workshop on Advances in Language and Vision Research (ALVR)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/alvr/)**Jiamin Su, Yibo Yan, Zhuoran Gao, et al.*2026 · 4 citations* 4. **[DiffAdapt: Difficulty-Adaptive Reasoning for Token-Efficient LLM Inference ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.19669) arXiv (Cornell University) · no summary yet**Xiang Liu et al.*2025 · 2 citations* 5. **[Are Dilemmas and Conflicts in LLM Alignment Solvable?
