## Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[Dual-Space Knowledge Distillation for Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2024-dual-space-knowledge-distillation-large/)** *(2024 · 39 citations)* Standard white-box knowledge distillation for LLMs trains a small student to match the teacher's token-level output distributions.
2. **[Multilingual Knowledge Editing with Language-Agnostic Factual Neurons](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2025-multilingual-knowledge-editing-language-agnostic/)** *(2025 · 17 citations)* The paper tackles multilingual knowledge editing (MKE), which means changing a fact in an LLM so the correction holds in several languages at once.
3. **[Less, but Better: Efficient Multilingual Expansion for LLMs via Layer-wise Mixture-of-Experts](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2025-less-but-better-efficient-multilingual/)** *(2025 · 13 citations)* Adding new languages to an existing LLM risks erasing skills in the languages it already handles well. The earlier MoE-based approach, MoE-LPR, also inflates model size: Qwen1.5-1.8B grows 3.2× to support three extra languages. This paper introduces LayerMoE, which questions whether every layer needs the same number…
4. **[Think Natively: Unlocking Multilingual Reasoning with Consistency-Enhanced Reinforcement Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-think-natively-unlocking-multilingual-reasoning/)** *(2026 · 11 citations)* Reasoning-oriented LLMs that think before answering often handle non-English prompts poorly. They tend to drift into English or a mix of languages during reasoning, and their accuracy drops compared with English. The authors introduce M-Thinker, a family of models (1.5B, 4B, 7B) trained with GRPO using two new reward…
5. **[Language-Coupled Reinforcement Learning for Multilingual Retrieval-Augmented Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/qi-2026-language-coupled-reinforcement-learning-multilingual/)** *(2026 · 5 citations)* The paper addresses two problems in multilingual retrieval-augmented generation (MRAG). The first is knowledge bias: an LLM answers the same question differently depending on its language. The second is knowledge conflict: passages retrieved from collections in many languages contradict each other. The authors…
6. **[Can Multi-agent Help Disambiguation in Multi-domain Translation?](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/man-2026-can-multi-agent-help-disambiguation/)** *(2026)* The paper asks whether LLM-based multi-agent collaboration can resolve cross-domain word ambiguity in multi-domain translation (MDT).
7. **[FeedTrans: Enhance Machine Translation via Feedback](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/sun-2026-feedtrans-enhance-machine-translation-feedback/)** *(2026)* Reinforcement learning (RL) for machine translation usually rewards a model only for what it can already produce.
8. **[Multilingual Chain-of-Thought Compression via Cross-Lingual Distillation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wan-2026-multilingual-chain-thought-compression-cross/)** *(2026)* Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning models often produce long, redundant traces. Existing compression techniques are tuned mostly on English. In other languages they either shorten outputs very little or cost accuracy, and low-resource languages suffer most. The authors propose MCD (Multilingual Chain-of-thought…
