The people they are meant to serve, persons with intellectual disabilities, rarely influence how these systems are built. This paper tests whether direct preference optimization (DPO) can steer LLM-based ATS systems… 2. **[Benchmarking NLP-supported Language Sample Analysis for Swiss Children's Speech](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ryser-2026-benchmarking-nlp-supported-language-sample/)** *(2026)* Language sample analysis (LSA) helps speech-language pathologists diagnose developmental language disorder (DLD) in children. 3. **[Overview of the UZH Shared Task 2026 on Reconstructing the Reasoning in United Nations Resolutions](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/shaitarova-2026-overview-uzh-shared-task-2026/)** *(2026)* Resolutions adopted by UN bodies form a highly formal, formulaic genre that argument mining has rarely studied, even though their paragraphs encode negotiated reasoning. ## All works 5 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
