Models settle into narrow strategies, and reasoning gains level off. The authors ask whether token-level entropy, a classic exploration signal in RL, can identify exploratory reasoning. They analyse Qwen2.5-Base-7B on math problems and find that… 2. **[ICR Probe: Tracking Hidden State Dynamics for Reliable Hallucination Detection in LLMs](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2025-icr-probe-tracking-hidden-state/)** *(2025 · 14 citations)* Hallucination detectors that read an LLM's hidden states are appealing because they need no reference answers or repeated sampling. 3. **[JointCQ: Improving Factual Hallucination Detection with Joint Claim and Query Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2026-jointcq-improving-factual-hallucination-detection/)** *(2026)* The paper targets factual hallucination detection in open-domain question answering. Retrieval-based checking pipelines usually split an answer into claims, write search queries, gather evidence and then verify each claim. The authors argue that the first two steps are weak: claims lose their context, and queries are… ## Co-authors here 12 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Huixuan Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/huixuan-zhang/) ×2 - [Xiaojun Wan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaojun-wan/) ×2 - [Bo Dai](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/bo-dai/) - [Daixuan Cheng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/daixuan-cheng/) - [Fan Xu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/fan-xu/) - [Furu Wei](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/furu-wei/) - [Jiahao Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiahao-wang/) - [Junzhe Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/junzhe-zhang/) - [Shaohan Huang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shaohan-huang/) - [Wayne Xin Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wayne-xin-zhao/) - [Xinyu Hu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xinyu-hu/) - [Xuekai Zhu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xuekai-zhu/) ## 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/): [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 72 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [25 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhenliang-zhang/cited-by/).
