They break down on "chores" that combine long multi-page browsing, collecting many data points and reasoning over constraints. For example, a GPT-4o agent scores 8.0% on WebChoreArena but 46.6% on WebArena. The authors attribute this to… 2. **[Observations and Remedies for Large Language Model Bias in Self-Consuming Performative Loop](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-observations-remedies-large-language-model/)** *(2026)* LLMs are increasingly trained on text written by earlier models. In deployment, how well a model serves each user group also affects who keeps sending queries. The authors formalize this as the Self-Consuming Performative Loop (SCPL). Each new model generation learns from synthetic responses to prompts, and the group… ## All works 10 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Few-shot Text Classification with Distributional Signatures ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.06039) arXiv (Cornell University) · no summary yet**Yujia Bao et al.*2019 · 175 citations* 2. **[Deriving Machine Attention from Human Rationales ↗](https://aclanthology.org/D18-1216/) Proceedings of the 2018 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing · no summary yet**Yujia Bao et al.*2018 · 130 citations* 3. **[Using Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing to Review and Classify the Medical Literature on Cancer Susceptibility Genes ↗](https://doi.org/10.1200/cci.19.00042) JCO Clinical Cancer Informatics · no summary yet**Yujia Bao et al.*2019 · 62 citations* 4. **[Validation of a Semiautomated Natural Language Processing–Based Procedure for Meta-Analysis of Cancer Susceptibility Gene Penetrance ↗](https://doi.org/10.1200/cci.19.00043) JCO Clinical Cancer Informatics · no summary yet**Zhengyi Deng et al.*2019 · 33 citations* 5. **[Predict then Interpolate: A Simple Algorithm to Learn Stable Classifiers ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.12628) arXiv (Cornell University) · no summary yet**Yujia Bao, Shiyu Chang, Regina Barzilay*2021 · 8 citations* 6. **[Sample, estimate, aggregate: A recipe for causal discovery foundation models ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.01929) arXiv (Cornell University) · no summary yet**Menghua Wu et al.*2024 · 3 citations* 7. **[Learning to Split for Automatic Bias Detection ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.13749) arXiv (Cornell University) · no summary yet**Yujia Bao, Regina Barzilay*2022 · 3 citations* 8. **[WebDART: Dynamic Decomposition and Re-planning for Complex Web Tasks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yang-2026-webdart-dynamic-decomposition-re-planning/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Jingbo Yang, Bairu Hou, Wei Wei, et al.*2026 · 2 citations* 9. **[Learning Stable Classifiers by Transferring Unstable Features ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.07847) arXiv (Cornell University) · no summary yet**Yujia Bao, Shiyu Chang, Regina Barzilay*2021 · 2 citations* 10. **[Observations and Remedies for Large Language Model Bias in Self-Consuming Performative Loop](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-observations-remedies-large-language-model/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Yaxuan Wang, Zhongteng Cai, Yujia Bao, et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 5 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Bairu Hou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bairu-hou/) - [Shiyu Chang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shiyu-chang/) - [Wei Wei](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wei-wei/) - [Xueru Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xueru-zhang/) - [Yang Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yang-liu/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - JCO Clinical Cancer Informatics ×2 - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) - [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/) - Proceedings of the 2018 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 117 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [10 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yujia-bao/cited-by/).
