Pre-trained language models (PLMs) had been reviewed many times, but large language models (LLMs) had not. The authors define LLMs as PLMs with tens or hundreds of billions of parameters. They trace language modeling through four generations: statistical n-gram models… 2. **[Deriving Character Logic from Storyline as Codified Decision Trees](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/peng-2026-deriving-character-logic-storyline-as/)** *(2026)* Role-playing (RP) agents built on LLMs usually rely on free-text character profiles. These profiles are hard to verify, cannot be executed, and tend to mix behaviors from different situations, so agents act inconsistently. The authors propose Codified Decision Trees (CDT), which learn a character's behavioral logic… ## All works 4 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. **[A Survey of Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhao-2023-survey-large-language-models/) [Frontiers of Computer Science](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/frontiers-of-computer-science/)**Wayne Xin Zhao, Kun Zhou, Junyi Li, et al.*2023 · 2,875 citations* 2. **[Large Language Models are Zero-Shot Rankers for Recommender Systems ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.08845) arXiv:2305.08845 · no summary yet**Yupeng Hou et al.*2023 · 394 citations* 3. **[Bridging Language and Items for Retrieval and Recommendation: Benchmarking LLMs as Semantic Encoders ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2026.acl-long.147/) Proceedings of the 64th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers) · no summary yet**Yupeng Hou et al.*2026 · 52 citations* 4. **[Deriving Character Logic from Storyline as Codified Decision Trees](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/peng-2026-deriving-character-logic-storyline-as/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Letian Peng, Kun Zhou, Longfei Yun, et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 11 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Kun Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kun-zhou/) ×2 - [Beichen Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/beichen-zhang/) - [Jingbo Shang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jingbo-shang/) - [Junyi Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/junyi-li/) - [Letian Peng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/letian-peng/) - [Tianyi Tang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tianyi-tang/) - [Wayne Xin Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wayne-xin-zhao/) - [Xiaolei Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaolei-wang/) - [Yifan Du](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yifan-du/) - [Yingqian Min](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yingqian-min/) - [Zican Dong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zican-dong/) ## 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/) - [Frontiers of Computer Science](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/frontiers-of-computer-science/): [Frontiers of Computer Science 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/frontiers-of-computer-science/2023/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 1,411 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [255 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yupeng-hou/cited-by/).
