## Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. **[The Rise and Potential of Large Language Model Based Agents: A Survey](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xi-2023-rise-potential-large-language/)** *(2023 · 1,272 citations)* This 2023 survey from the Fudan NLP Group maps the young field of agents built on large language models. The authors argue that earlier agent research mostly tuned algorithms for narrow skills, such as symbolic reasoning or board games like Go and Chess. What the field lacked was a general base model that agents…
2. **[LoRAMoE: Alleviating World Knowledge Forgetting in Large Language Models via MoE-Style Plugin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/dou-2024-loramoe-alleviating-world-knowledge-forgetting/)** *(2024 · 93 citations)* The paper examines a trade-off in supervised fine-tuning (SFT) of LLMs. Adding much more instruction data keeps improving downstream tasks, but it also erodes the factual knowledge the model gained in pre-training. The authors build a 5-million-sample instruction set covering seven task categories and fine-tune…
3. **[RMB: Comprehensively Benchmarking Reward Models in LLM Alignment](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhou-2024-rmb-comprehensively-benchmarking-reward-models/)** *(2024 · 30 citations)* Reward models (RMs) steer LLM alignment, but existing evaluations such as RewardBench often fail to predict how well an RM actually guides alignment.
4. **[ToolHop: A Query-Driven Benchmark for Evaluating Large Language Models in Multi-Hop Tool Use](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ye-2025-toolhop-query-driven-benchmark-evaluating/)** *(2025 · 15 citations)* Benchmarks for LLM tool use rarely test true multi-hop behaviour. Most build datasets tool-first: they gather tools and then synthesize queries for them. Such tools often do not depend on one another, and answers cannot be checked reliably, so evaluation falls back on model-based judging, which carries bias. ToolHop…
5. **[Feedback-Driven Tool-Use Improvements in Large Language Models via Automated Build Environments](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/ye-2026-feedback-driven-tool-use-improvements/)** *(2026 · 6 citations)* Training LLMs to call tools with reinforcement learning is difficult for two reasons. Online APIs make training environments unstable and costly to maintain, and judging trajectories usually requires a strong LLM as evaluator, which brings bias. The authors propose FTRL, which removes both problems. An automated…
6. **[Which Reasoning Trajectories Teach Students to Reason Better? A Simple Metric of Informative Alignment](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yang-2026-which-reasoning-trajectories-teach-students/)** *(2026 · 4 citations)* Distilling reasoning from a teacher LLM into a student through SFT on long chain-of-thought (CoT) traces does not reliably improve with teacher strength.
7. **[Enhancing LLM-based Search Agents via Contribution Weighted Group Relative Policy Optimization](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-enhancing-llm-based-search-agents/)** *(2026)* Search agents built on LLMs learn to query external engines during multi-round reasoning, but reinforcement learning for such agents faces a dilemma.
