This paper drops that assumption. It studies cases where some classes have no labeled examples, for instance because the database is outdated, classes are highly imbalanced, or annotation follows a… 2. **[Inverting the Shield: Systematically Generating Safety Tests from Policy Specifications](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lu-2026-inverting-shield-systematically-generating-safety/)** *(2026)* Current LLM safety evaluation depends on two approaches. Static benchmarks are costly, prone to contamination, and age quickly. Red-teaming is heuristic, and neither can show which policy clauses were actually tested. The authors propose POLARIS, which borrows specification-based testing from software engineering. It… 3. **[Task-Related In-Context Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-task-related-context-learning/)** *(2026)* Conventional in-context learning (ICL) presumes that the retrieval pool and the test set use the same label inventory. ## Co-authors here 8 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Peng Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/peng-chen/) ×2 - [Wenqiang Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wenqiang-wang/) ×2 - [Xiaochun Cao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaochun-cao/) ×2 - [Xiaoyue Lu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaoyue-lu/) ×2 - [Yangshijie Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yangshijie-zhang/) ×2 - [Jiahao Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiahao-liu/) - [Jin Song Dong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jin-song-dong/) - [Zhifeng Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhifeng-chen/) ## 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 - [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 2 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [1 citing paper with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yan-xiao/cited-by/).
