Yet models now reach hundreds of billions of parameters, so even rank-1 LoRA can be too heavy for mobile hardware or labs with little compute. The authors ask how a very small, fixed budget of trainable parameters should be… 3. **[No More Stale Feedback: Co-Evolving Critics for Open-World Agent Learning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/li-2026-no-more-stale-feedback-co/)** *(2026 · 3 citations)* Critique-guided reinforcement learning supplements sparse outcome rewards for LLM agents with natural-language feedback. 4. **[Aligning Agents via Planning: A Benchmark for Trajectory-Level Reward Modeling](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-aligning-agents-planning-benchmark-trajectory/)** *(2026)* As LLMs turn into agents that call tools over many turns, reward models must judge entire interaction trajectories, not just single replies. ## Co-authors here 12 of 16 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Jinman Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jinman-zhao/) ×2 - [Xin Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xin-li/) ×2 - [Zheng Pan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zheng-pan/) ×2 - [Erxue Min](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/erxue-min/) - [Gerald Penn](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/gerald-penn/) - [Guanhua Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/guanhua-chen/) - [Jiaru Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiaru-li/) - [Jiaxuan Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiaxuan-wang/) - [Lan-Zhe Guo](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lan-zhe-guo/) - [Linbo Cao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/linbo-cao/) - [Lingjie Jiang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lingjie-jiang/) - [Xueyan Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xueyan-zhang/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/) ×2: [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) ×2 - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2025/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 19 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [9 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yulan-hu/cited-by/).
