Earlier work showed this behaviour can be triggered with little data and carries over to new tasks. This paper asks whether long CoT is a general capability already present inside LLMs. 2. **[Rethinking Sample Polarity in Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tang-2026-rethinking-sample-polarity-reinforcement-learning/)** *(2026 · 4 citations)* This paper asks what positive (correct) and negative (incorrect) rollouts each contribute when large reasoning models are trained with RLVR. 3. **[Reflective RAG: Self-Evaluation Driven Strategy Optimization in Agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wu-2026-reflective-rag-self-evaluation-driven/)** *(2026)* Agentic RAG systems retrieve over several turns, but they usually cannot judge whether a retrieved passage actually helps. 4. **[RV-Syn: Rational and Verifiable Mathematical Reasoning Data Synthesis based on Structured Function Library](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-rv-syn-rational-verifiable-mathematical/)** *(2026)* RV-Syn tackles the shortage of reliable, complex mathematical training data for LLMs. Prior synthesis methods either rework existing annotated sets such as GSM8K and MATH, which limits diversity, or have a model write questions directly from documents or knowledge points. The authors argue that direct generation… ## Co-authors here 10 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Jun Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jun-zhou/) ×2 - [Xin Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xin-zhao/) ×2 - [Xinyu Tang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xinyu-tang/) ×2 - [Binbin Hu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/binbin-hu/) - [Jiapeng Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiapeng-wang/) - [Jinhao Jiang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jinhao-jiang/) - [Wayne Xin Zhao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/wayne-xin-zhao/) - [Xiaolei Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaolei-wang/) - [Yingqian Min](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yingqian-min/) - [Zhixun Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhixun-li/) ## 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/) ×2: [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/), [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/) ×2: [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ×2 ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 27 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [12 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhiqiang-zhang/cited-by/).
