## Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[Curriculum Learning for Natural Language Understanding](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2020-curriculum-learning-natural-language-understanding/)** *(2020 · 240 citations)* Pre-trained language models such as BERT are usually fine-tuned on NLU tasks with training examples shuffled randomly and weighted equally.
2. **[ExpertPrompting: Instructing Large Language Models to be Distinguished Experts](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2023-expertprompting-instructing-large-language-models/)** *(2023 · 128 citations)* How well an aligned LLM answers depends heavily on how the prompt is phrased, but existing prompting advice is either task-specific or needs manual adaptation.
3. **[FS-Researcher: Test-Time Scaling for Long-Horizon Research Tasks with File-System-Based Agents](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhu-2026-fs-researcher-test-time-scaling/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Deep research agents must browse many webpages and produce long reports, but their trajectories quickly exceed the model's context window.
4. **[GASim: A Graph-Accelerated Hybrid Framework for Social Simulation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhou-2026-gasim-graph-accelerated-hybrid-framework/)** *(2026)* Large-scale social simulators often pair a small number of LLM-driven "core" agents with a large population of rule-based agent-based model (ABM) agents, as in HiSim.
