How those visual tokens actually shape the generated answer has been unclear. The authors study this "information flow", meaning how strongly system, image and user-prompt tokens influence answer tokens, layer by… 3. **[ART: Attention Replacement Technique to Improve Factuality in LLMs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/luo-2026-art-attention-replacement-technique-improve/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* This paper links hallucination in LLMs to the way attention is distributed in the earliest layers. Inspecting attention maps of shallow layers (e.g., Layer 0 of Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct on a GSM8K sample), the authors group heads into three types. Uniform heads spread weight evenly over the context, local heads look… 4. **[On the Step Length Confounding in LLM Reasoning Data Selection](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-step-length-confounding-llm-reasoning/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* The paper looks at naturalness-based selection of supervised fine-tuning data for long chain-of-thought reasoning. 5. **[Reasoning Fails Where Step Flow Breaks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2026-reasoning-fails-where-step-flow/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Large reasoning models (LRMs) produce long question–thinking–summary traces, but their mistakes are hard to trace back to specific parts of the reasoning. ## Co-authors here 12 of 13 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Chen Shen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chen-shen/) ×4 - [Xiaofeng Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaofeng-zhang/) ×4 - [Jieping Ye](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jieping-ye/) ×3 - [Shaotian Yan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shaotian-yan/) ×3 - [Yihao Quan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yihao-quan/) ×3 - [Chaochen Gu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chaochen-gu/) ×2 - [Bing Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bing-wang/) - [Hao Cheng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hao-cheng/) - [Hao Tang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hao-tang/) - [Jun Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jun-zhang/) - [Rui Miao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/rui-miao/) - [Wenxiao Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wenxiao-wang/) ## 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 - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/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/) - [Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/): [NAACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/naacl/2025/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 17 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/xiaosong-yuan/cited-by/).
