Existing automated writing evaluation tools mostly assign a coherence score based on shallow linguistic features and do not help learners fix the problem. The authors present DECOR, a benchmark built from 100 medium-level TOEFL-11 essays.… 2. **[Budget-Aware Anytime Reasoning with LLM-Synthesized Preference Data](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-budget-aware-anytime-reasoning-llm/)** *(2026)* The paper looks at how LLMs behave when reasoning is cut short by a fixed token or latency budget. In such cases, a usable partial answer delivered early can be worth more than a complete answer that arrives too late. The authors build an evaluation pipeline that works in three steps.
