Existing cultural alignment methods, such as persona prompting or fine-tuning on value surveys like WVS, have two weaknesses. Broad value data transfers poorly to concrete culture-sensitive tasks such as offensive language detection. Training one… 2. **[Representation Interventions Enable Lifelong Knowledge Memory Control in LLMs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2026-representation-interventions-enable-lifelong-knowledge/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Once deployed, LLMs cannot easily absorb new or corrected facts. Retraining is expensive. Weight-editing methods tend to collapse as edits pile up, especially with long, free-form knowledge rather than subject–relation–object triples. The authors propose RILKE, which keeps the base model frozen and instead edits… ## All works 5 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. **[Mind the Gap in Cultural Alignment: Task-Aware Culture Management for Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-mind-gap-cultural-alignment-task/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Binchi Zhang, Xujiang Zhao, Jundong Li, et al.*2026 · 2 citations* 2. **[Representation Interventions Enable Lifelong Knowledge Memory Control in LLMs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2026-representation-interventions-enable-lifelong-knowledge/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Xuyuan Liu, Shengyu Chen, Xinshuai Dong, et al.*2026 · 1 citation* 3. **[Multi-Agent Procedural Graph Extraction with Structural and Logical Refinement ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2026.findings-eacl.158/) Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: EACL 2026 · no summary yet**Wangyang Ying et al.*2026* 4. **[Uncertainty-Aware Test-Time Search for Optimization Problem Solving ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2026.acl-long.1975/) Proceedings of the 64th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers) · no summary yet**Linlin Yu et al.*2026* 5. **[LOKA: Conflict-Aware LLM Knowledge Update with Adaptive Knowledge Memory ↗](https://aclanthology.org/2026.acl-long.760/) Proceedings of the 64th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 1: Long Papers) · no summary yet**Binchi Zhang et al.*2026* ## Co-authors here 4 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Haifeng Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haifeng-chen/) ×2 - [Xujiang Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xujiang-zhao/) ×2 - [Haoyu Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haoyu-wang/) - [Jundong Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jundong-li/) ## 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/) ×4: [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) ×2 - Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: EACL 2026 ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 3 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [2 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhengzhang-chen/cited-by/).
