It runs no experiments and introduces no dataset. The authors argue that current LLM uses in English teaching mostly reuse standard NLP task framings and ignore educational methodology. They contend that LLMs can work as tutors that support human teachers rather than replace them. They… 3. **[CAFES: A Collaborative Multi-Agent Framework for Multi-Granular Multimodal Essay Scoring](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/su-2026-cafes-collaborative-multi-agent-framework/)** *(2026 · 4 citations)* Multimodal writing tasks ask students to argue from images such as charts. Scoring them automatically is hard. Classic AES systems depend on handcrafted features and cannot process images. Single-MLLM scorers tend to invent justifications and grade more harshly than human raters. CAFES addresses this by dividing… 4. **[GM-PRM: A Generative Multimodal Process Reward Model for Multimodal Mathematical Reasoning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-gm-prm-generative-multimodal-process/)** *(2026 · 2 citations)* Multimodal LLMs often fail at multi-step math over images because one perception or logic slip in a single step derails the whole solution. 5. **[Sculpting the Vector Space: Towards Efficient Multi-Vector Visual Document Retrieval via Prune-then-Merge Framework](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yan-2026-sculpting-vector-space-efficient-multi/)** *(2026 · 2 citations)* Multi-vector models for Visual Document Retrieval (VDR), such as those in the ColPali family, represent each page as hundreds or thousands of patch embeddings. 6. **[Vision-Language Introspection: Mitigating Overconfident Hallucinations in MLLMs via Interpretable Bi-Causal Steering](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2026-vision-language-introspection-mitigating-overconfident/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Multimodal LLMs often describe objects that are not in the image. The authors trace this to models trusting language-based expectations over what the image actually shows. They propose Vision-Language Introspection (VLI), a training-free method applied at inference time. ## Co-authors here 12 of 23 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Xuming Hu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xuming-hu/) ×4 - [Xin Zou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xin-zou/) ×3 - [Jiahao Huo](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiahao-huo/) ×2 - [Jiamin Su](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiamin-su/) ×2 - [Kun Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kun-wang/) ×2 - [Shen Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shen-wang/) ×2 - [Shuliang Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shuliang-liu/) ×2 - [Boyan Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/boyan-li/) - [Deqing Zou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/deqing-zou/) - [Hai-Tao Zheng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hai-tao-zheng/) - [Han Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/han-zhang/) - [Hang Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hang-li/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Workshop on Advances in Language and Vision Research (ALVR)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/alvr/) ×2: [ALVR 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/alvr/2026/) ×2 - [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 - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2025/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 31 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [6 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yibo-yan/cited-by/).
