Transformers recall context well, but their compute cost and KV cache grow quickly with sequence length. State space models such as Mamba run cheaply but recall poorly. Earlier hybrids stacked the two layer types one after another, so a weak layer… 3. **[Think Hard Only When Needed: A Hybrid Best-of-N and Beam Search for Efficient Test-Time Compute](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/suh-2026-think-hard-only-when-needed/)** *(2026)* Test-time compute lets small language models reason better by spending extra inference effort, but the two standard strategies have opposite costs. ## Co-authors here 12 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Yonggan Fu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yonggan-fu/) ×3 - [Shizhe Diao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shizhe-diao/) ×2 - [Xin Dong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xin-dong/) ×2 - [Ameya Sunil Mahabaleshwarkar](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ameya-sunil-mahabaleshwarkar/) - [Jan Kautz](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jan-kautz/) - [Pavlo Molchanov](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/pavlo-molchanov/) - [Peter Belcak](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/peter-belcak/) - [Saurav Muralidharan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/saurav-muralidharan/) - [Wonmin Byeon](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wonmin-byeon/) - [Yoshi Suhara](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yoshi-suhara/) - [Zheng Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zheng-wang/) - [Zijia Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zijia-chen/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 123 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [23 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yingyan-celine-lin/cited-by/).
