That size is hard to tune, because knowledge sources differ in structure and information density, and individual questions range from narrow to broad. The authors propose Mix-of-Granularity (MoG), which borrows the routing idea from… 2. **[DiagnosisArena: Benchmarking Diagnostic Reasoning for Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhu-2026-diagnosisarena-benchmarking-diagnostic-reasoning-large/)** *(2026 · 7 citations)* Popular medical LLM benchmarks such as MedQA and MMLU are nearly saturated, with leading models scoring above 90%. 3. **[MedMCP-Calc: Benchmarking LLMs for Realistic Medical Calculator Scenarios via MCP Integration](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhu-2026-medmcp-calc-benchmarking-llms-realistic/)** *(2026 · 2 citations)* Real clinical use of medical calculators rarely involves one isolated formula. A clinician pulls scattered values from the EHR, decides which scores fit the evolving situation, and chains several computations together. Existing benchmarks such as MedCalc-Bench instead give clean patient notes and name the calculator… ## All works 6 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. **[Heterogeneous Memory Enhanced Multimodal Attention Model for Video Question Answering ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/cvpr.2019.00210) IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings · no summary yet**Chenyou Fan et al.*2019 · 315 citations* 2. **[Embedding Label Structures for Fine-Grained Feature Representation ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/cvpr.2016.126) IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings · no summary yet**Xiaofan Zhang et al.*2016 · 210 citations* 3. **[Fine-grained histopathological image analysis via robust segmentation and large-scale retrieval ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/cvpr.2015.7299174) IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings · no summary yet**Xiaofan Zhang et al.*2015 · 56 citations* 4. **[Mix-of-Granularity: Optimize the Chunking Granularity for Retrieval-Augmented Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhong-2025-mix-granularity-optimize-chunking-granularity/) [International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/coling/)**Zijie Zhong, Hanwen Liu, Xiaoya Cui, et al.*2025 · 13 citations* 5. **[DiagnosisArena: Benchmarking Diagnostic Reasoning for Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhu-2026-diagnosisarena-benchmarking-diagnostic-reasoning-large/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Yakun Zhu, Zhongzhen Huang, Linjie Mu, et al.*2026 · 7 citations* 6. **[MedMCP-Calc: Benchmarking LLMs for Realistic Medical Calculator Scenarios via MCP Integration](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhu-2026-medmcp-calc-benchmarking-llms-realistic/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Yakun Zhu, Yutong Huang, Shengqian Qin, et al.*2026 · 2 citations* ## Co-authors here 5 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Shaoting Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shaoting-zhang/) ×2 - [Yakun Zhu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yakun-zhu/) ×2 - [Yutong Huang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yutong-huang/) ×2 - [Zhongzhen Huang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhongzhen-huang/) ×2 - [Pengfei Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/pengfei-liu/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings ×3 - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) - [International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/coling/): [COLING 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/coling/2025/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 45 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [9 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaofan-zhang/cited-by/).
