That data often contains logical slips, invented facts or incomplete answers, and these flaws carry over into the SFT models. Reinforcement learning could correct such behaviour, but there has been no dependable… 2. **[ChatGLM-RLHF: Practices of Aligning Large Language Models with Human Feedback](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/hou-2024-chatglm-rlhf-practices-aligning/)** *(2024 · 17 citations)* This paper from Zhipu AI and Tsinghua University describes how the team built and ran the RLHF pipeline used in production for the ChatGLM assistant, with particular attention to Chinese. 3. **[IF-CRITIC: Towards a Fine-Grained LLM Critic for Instruction-Following Evaluation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wen-2026-if-critic-fine-grained-llm/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* LLM-as-a-Judge is often used to supply rewards for training instruction-following. It has two problems. First, it is expensive, because strong proprietary or reasoning models must judge every constraint in a separate call. Second, it is unreliable: these judges miss errors and count poorly. IF-CRITIC is a 14B critic… 4. **[IF-RewardBench: Benchmarking Judge Models for Instruction-Following Evaluation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wen-2026-if-rewardbench-benchmarking-judge-models/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Judge models (LLM-as-a-Judge and reward models) are widely used to check whether LLM outputs obey instructions and to supply reward signals for alignment. ## Co-authors here 12 of 22 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Hongning Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hongning-wang/) ×3 - [Minlie Huang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/minlie-huang/) ×3 - [Aohan Zeng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/aohan-zeng/) ×2 - [Bosi Wen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bosi-wen/) ×2 - [Cunxiang Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/cunxiang-wang/) ×2 - [Pei Ke](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/pei-ke/) ×2 - [Xiaoying Ling](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaoying-ling/) ×2 - [Ying Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ying-zhang/) ×2 - [Yuxiao Dong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yuxiao-dong/) ×2 - [Zhenyu Hou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhenyu-hou/) ×2 - [Jiajie Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiajie-zhang/) - [Jie Tang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jie-tang/) ## 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/) ×3: [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) ×2, [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 542 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [129 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yilin-niu/cited-by/).
