1. **[MM-SafetyBench: A Benchmark for Safety Evaluation of Multimodal Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2023-mm-safetybench-benchmark-safety-evaluation/)** *(2023 · 152 citations)* Multimodal LLMs (MLLMs) rely on language backbones that are often safety-aligned, but it is unclear whether that protection holds once images enter the dialogue.
2. **[TagRAG: Tag-guided Hierarchical Knowledge Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tao-2026-tagrag-tag-guided-hierarchical-knowledge/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* TagRAG addresses weaknesses of graph-based retrieval-augmented generation on query-focused summarization, where answers require a global view of a whole corpus.
3. **[Diff4TST: Masked Diffusion Language Model for Text Style Transfer](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ma-2026-diff4tst-masked-diffusion-language-model/)** *(2026)* Diff4TST addresses text style transfer (TST): rewriting a text into a target style while keeping its meaning.
