A Systematic Evaluation on AI Research Papers](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2025-can-llms-identify-critical-limitations/)** *(2025 · 11 citations)* Peer review is increasingly strained as publication volume grows. Existing benchmarks for LLM-generated reviews mostly judge overall review quality and pay little attention to whether models can find a paper's real weaknesses. This work isolates that skill. The authors first build a taxonomy of limitation types for… 2. **[AbGen: Evaluating Large Language Models in Ablation Study Design and Evaluation for Scientific Research](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhao-2025-abgen-evaluating-large-language-models/)** *(2025 · 9 citations)* AbGen tests whether large language models can help scientists plan experiments, focusing on ablation study design. 3. **[Solve-Detect-Verify: Inference-Time Scaling with Flexible Generative Verifier](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhong-2026-solve-detect-verify-inference-time/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Step-by-step reasoning in LLMs creates a cost problem. Solvers keep generating text after they already have an answer, and checking their work is expensive. Process-based verifiers such as GenPRM re-read the context at every step. Cheap "NoThinking"-style checks are fast but flag many false positives. ## Co-authors here 7 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Arman Cohan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/arman-cohan/) ×2 - [Lovekesh Vig](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lovekesh-vig/) ×2 - [Manasi Patwardhan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/manasi-patwardhan/) ×2 - [Yilun Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yilun-zhao/) ×2 - [Chengye Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chengye-wang/) - [Xiangyu Wen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiangyu-wen/) - [Yixin Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yixin-liu/) ## 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/) ×3: [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/), [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/) ×2 ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 12 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [3 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhijian-xu/cited-by/).
