Earlier studies show that emotional nuance is often lost in this step, even when overall reconstruction sounds good. AffectCodec makes emotion preservation an explicit training goal instead of an incidental side effect. 2. **[Confidence-Aware Ranker Ensembles for Robust In-Context Knowledge Editing](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/nair-2026-confidence-aware-ranker-ensembles-robust/)** *(2026)* Large language models can keep producing outdated or wrong facts. In-context knowledge editing (IKE) addresses this at inference time by putting corrected facts and demonstrations into the prompt, without changing weights, which makes it suitable for black-box APIs. However, current IKE pipelines pick demonstrations… ## Co-authors here 2 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Ashley Gao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ashley-gao/) ×2 - [Xinyuan Song](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xinyuan-song/) ## 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 Updated 1 November 2026
