Assembling a working workflow there takes real expertise, because the platform has thousands of community components with complex dependencies. Earlier automation attempts prompted proprietary LLMs or multi-agent setups to emit JSON… 3. **[ComfyFlow: Benchmarking LLMs for AIGC Workflow Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2026-comfyflow-benchmarking-llms-aigc-workflow/)** *(2026)* ComfyFlow tests whether LLMs can build AIGC pipelines in ComfyUI, the open-source node-based generation platform, in place of a human expert. 4. **[MSVBench: Towards Human-Level Evaluation of Multi-Shot Video Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/shi-2026-msvbench-human-level-evaluation-multi/)** *(2026)* Video generators increasingly produce story-like videos made of many shots, but most evaluation benchmarks still judge single clips. ## Co-authors here 12 of 13 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Baotian Hu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/baotian-hu/) ×4 - [Min Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/min-zhang/) ×4 - [Longyue Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/longyue-wang/) ×3 - [Weihua Luo](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/weihua-luo/) ×2 - [Xue Yang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xue-yang/) ×2 - [Yiyu Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yiyu-wang/) ×2 - [Yunxin Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yunxin-li/) ×2 - [Dongfang Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dongfang-li/) - [Kai Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kai-chen/) - [Kaifu Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kaifu-zhang/) - [Muyang Ye](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/muyang-ye/) - [Xinyu Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xinyu-chen/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/) ×3: [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ×3 ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 26 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [10 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhenran-xu/cited-by/).
