A user cannot point to a region, and the model cannot point back to the objects it mentions. The authors call this missing ability Referential Dialogue (RD) and present Shikra, a generalist MLLM designed for it. 2. **[ImageNet Training in Minutes](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/you-2017-imagenet-training-minutes/)** *(2017 · 112 citations)* Training a standard classifier on ImageNet-1k once required days or weeks: 90 epochs of ResNet-50 on one NVIDIA M40 took about 14 days. 3. **[PED: Route-Decoupled Diagnostics for Persona Consistency in Spoken Agents](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2026-ped-route-decoupled-diagnostics-persona/)** *(2026)* Spoken role-playing agents often slip out of character over long conversations. Existing benchmarks usually give a single holistic "voice + character" score, which does not show whether the fault comes from the generated words or from their acoustic delivery. The authors propose PED (Persona–Emotion Decoupling), a… ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
