However, the wording of a question often fails to express what knowledge actually needs to be looked up. Because modern LLMs are mostly reachable only through APIs, the authors leave the reader and retriever untouched and adapt… 2. **[EVA: Evolving Semantic Adversaries for Red-Teaming GUI Agents Against Environmental Injection Attacks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lu-2026-eva-evolving-semantic-adversaries-red/)** *(2026)* GUI agents built on multimodal LLMs can be hijacked by Environmental Injection Attacks (EIAs), in which malicious instructions appear inside the interface, for example as fake pop-up notifications. 3. **[Social Welfare Function Leaderboard: On the Emergence of LLM Agents as the Welfare Dictator](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/shi-2026-social-welfare-function-leaderboard-emergence/)** *(2026)* LLMs are increasingly used in consequential settings, but little is known about the values they apply when distributing scarce resources. ## All works 5 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. **[Query Rewriting in Retrieval-Augmented Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ma-2023-query-rewriting-retrieval-augmented-large/) [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/)**Xinbei Ma, Yeyun Gong, Pengcheng He, et al.*2023 · 384 citations* 2. **[EVA: Evolving Semantic Adversaries for Red-Teaming GUI Agents Against Environmental Injection Attacks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lu-2026-eva-evolving-semantic-adversaries-red/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Yijie Lu, Manman Zhao, Tianjie Ju, et al.*2026* 3. **[Social Welfare Function Leaderboard: On the Emergence of LLM Agents as the Welfare Dictator](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/shi-2026-social-welfare-function-leaderboard-emergence/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Zhengliang Shi, Ruotian Ma, Jen-tse Huang, et al.*2026* 4. **[Agent-Dice: Disentangling Knowledge Updates via Geometric Consensus for Agent Continual Learning ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2026.findings-acl.908/) Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: ACL 2026 · no summary yet**Zheng Wu et al.*2026* 5. **[ParaCook: On Time-Efficient Planning for Multi-Agent Systems ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2026.findings-acl.1378/) Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: ACL 2026 · no summary yet**Shiqi Zhang et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 12 of 15 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Fanghua Ye](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/fanghua-ye/) - [Gongshen Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/gongshen-liu/) - [Hai Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hai-zhao/) - [Jen-tse Huang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jen-tse-huang/) - [Mengru Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mengru-wang/) - [Nan Duan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/nan-duan/) - [Pengcheng He](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/pengcheng-he/) - [Qu Yang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/qu-yang/) - [Ruotian Ma](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ruotian-ma/) - [Xingyu Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xingyu-chen/) - [Yeyun Gong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yeyun-gong/) - [Yue Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yue-wang/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/) ×2: [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ×2 - Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: ACL 2026 ×2 - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2023/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 121 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [17 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xinbei-ma/cited-by/).
