It improves reasoning accuracy but consumes enormous token budgets. The authors show that most of this spending is redundant. Across trace pairs from four reasoning models, more than 80% of pairs reach the same final… 2. **[Modular Neural Machine Translation with a Semantic Pivot - Pilot Study Using AMR](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/gao-2026-modular-neural-machine-translation-semantic/)** *(2026)* The paper builds a translation pipeline with a semantic pivot, in the spirit of the translation pyramid. Each language gets two modules: one that reads a sentence into English AMR, and one that writes the target sentence from AMR. The training data is a silver AMR corpus made by a strong parser from the United… ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Rethinking On-Policy Distillation of Large Language Models: Phenomenology, Mechanism, and Recipe ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.13016) arXiv:2604.13016 · no summary yet**Yaxuan Li et al.*2026 · 58 citations* 2. **[DeepPrune: Parallel Scaling without Inter-trace Redundancy](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tu-2026-deepprune-parallel-scaling-without-inter/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Shangqing Tu, Yaxuan Li, Yushi Bai, et al.*2026 · 3 citations* 3.
