The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[Improving Language Models via Plug-and-Play Retrieval Feedback](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yu-2023-improving-language-models-plug-play/)** *(2023 · 54 citations)* Large language models often produce confident but wrong facts. Their stored knowledge can be outdated or thin on rare topics. Fixing this with human feedback and RL-based fine-tuning is expensive and cannot help at inference time. The authors propose ReFeed, a pipeline that adds automatic correction without any…
2. **[PLUG: Leveraging Pivot Language in Cross-Lingual Instruction Tuning](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2024-plug-leveraging-pivot-language-cross/)** *(2024 · 28 citations)* Large language models handle instructions far better in English than in languages that are underrepresented in their pre-training data.
3. **[Enhancing Mathematical Reasoning in LLMs by Stepwise Correction](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wu-2025-enhancing-mathematical-reasoning-llms-stepwise/)** *(2025 · 14 citations)* Best-of-N decoding samples several independent solutions to a math problem and keeps the highest-scoring one.
4. **[Aligned Multi-View Scripts for Universal Chart-to-Code Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2026-aligned-multi-view-scripts-universal/)** *(2026)* Converting a chart image into a runnable plotting script has been studied almost only for Python/matplotlib, even though R (ggplot2) and LaTeX (TikZ) are standard tools in many sciences.
5. **[MMTutorBench: The First Multimodal Benchmark for AI Math Tutoring](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yang-2026-mmtutorbench-first-multimodal-benchmark-ai/)** *(2026)* MMTutorBench addresses a gap in multimodal evaluation. Existing math benchmarks test whether models can read handwriting or solve problems. They do not test whether a model can act as a tutor: working out where a student is stuck, naming the relevant idea, and suggesting only the next step.
