It assumes one KB language, usually English Wikipedia, and so ignores the many entities described only in other languages. Botha, Shan and Gillick instead propose Multilingual Entity Linking (MEL). In MEL, mentions in any language are… 2. **[RouteMoA: Dynamic Routing without Pre-Inference Boosts Efficient Mixture-of-Agents](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-routemoa-dynamic-routing-without-pre/)** *(2026)* Mixture-of-Agents (MoA) setups let several LLMs refine each other's answers over multiple layers. Because every model runs at every layer, this is expensive and slow. Sparse MoA adds an LLM judge to filter answers, but all models still have to generate before the judge sees them. Neither approach scales well to pools… ## Co-authors here 5 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Dacheng Tao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/dacheng-tao/) - [Daniel Gillick](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/daniel-gillick/) - [Jan A.
