The main cause is a shortage of suitable instruction data: existing chart datasets rely on web-crawled figures with thin annotations and rarely include the plotting code needed to teach chart generation. The authors build a synthetic… 2. **[Reasoning as Gradient: Scaling MLE Agents Beyond Tree Search](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-reasoning-as-gradient-scaling-mle/)** *(2026)* Most LLM agents for machine learning engineering (MLE) improve solutions through tree or graph search. They reduce rich execution feedback to a scalar score and use it only to decide which candidate to keep. The authors argue that this is a gradient-free approach. It wastes diagnostic information that strong… 3. **[Rotation Control Unlearning: Quantifying and Controlling Continuous Unlearning for LLM with The Cognitive Rotation Space](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-rotation-control-unlearning-quantifying-controlling/)** *(2026)* This paper addresses continual machine unlearning for LLMs, where a model must remove the influence of unwanted data across a sequence of deletion requests. ## Co-authors here 12 of 14 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Bin Fu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bin-fu/) - [Cheng Deng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/cheng-deng/) - [Chi Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chi-zhang/) - [Gang Yu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/gang-yu/) - [Jian Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jian-wang/) - [Jiang Bian](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiang-bian/) - [Jingyuan Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jingyuan-li/) - [Xiang Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiang-zhang/) - [Xiao Yang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiao-yang/) - [Xin Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xin-chen/) - [Yifei Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yifei-zhang/) - [Yucheng Han](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yucheng-han/) ## 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 ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 74 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [21 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xu-yang/cited-by/).
