In real social interaction, however, people's beliefs, feelings and goals change over time. The authors address this gap with DynToM, a benchmark that checks whether models can follow how a character's mental state develops across a… 3. **[AgencyBench: Benchmarking the Frontiers of Autonomous Agents in 1M-Token Real-World Contexts](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/li-2026-agencybench-benchmarking-frontiers-autonomous-agents/)** *(2026 · 4 citations)* Most agent benchmarks test one skill, such as tool use, coding, or web research, through short interactions. 4. **[SepSeq: A Training-Free Framework for Long Numerical Sequence Processing in LLMs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sun-2026-sepseq-training-free-framework-long/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Modern LLMs advertise very long context windows, yet they handle long sequences of numbers poorly. Tasks such as counting, filtering, or spotting trends need exact access to every value. The authors trace this failure to attention dispersion: as inputs grow, Softmax spreads attention over many similar numeric tokens… 5. **[Large-Scale Multimodal Knowledge Graph about Classical Chinese Poetry: Fine-grained Method and Comprehensive Evaluation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-large-scale-multimodal-knowledge-graph/)** *(2026)* Research on classical Chinese poetry has relied mostly on text. The only existing text-vision knowledge graph, PKG, covers imagery alone, includes no sound, and links to many web images that no longer exist. To fill this gap, the authors build CPMK, a multimodal knowledge graph that combines textual, visual and… 6. **[Privacy Risks of Intermediate Representations: Attribute Inference in Distributed LLM Inference](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/lyu-2026-privacy-risks-intermediate-representations-attribute/)** *(2026)* Distributed LLM inference splits a model across several participants. They exchange hidden states rather than raw prompts, and this is widely treated as privacy-preserving. The authors test that belief. They ask whether a single honest-but-curious node can identify which sensitive attribute, such as a drug name or a… ## All works 8 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 6 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
