It orthogonalizes the momentum matrix, which forces every singular value to one. The authors argue this has two costs. It gives as much weight to noisy, small-singular-value directions as to informative ones. It also keeps the weight spectra… 3. **[RFS-Guard: Detecting Reasoning Hallucinations via Cross-Phase Routing Focus in Large Reasoning Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2026-rfs-guard-detecting-reasoning-hallucinations/)** *(2026)* Large reasoning models (LRMs) can produce fluent chains of thought that still hide small arithmetic slips or broken constraints, which then lead to wrong final answers. ## Co-authors here 10 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Chunyan Miao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chunyan-miao/) - [Fang Zhouhua](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/fang-zhouhua/) - [Hui Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hui-liu/) - [Lei Hsiung](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/lei-hsiung/) - [Shuicheng Yan](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shuicheng-yan/) - [Tianyu Pang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tianyu-pang/) - [Xie Zhifei](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xie-zhifei/) - [Yaoqing Yang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yaoqing-yang/) - [Yong Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yong-li/) - [Zhiwei Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zhiwei-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/): [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) - [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/): [EMNLP 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/2025/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 18 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [11 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zihang-liu/cited-by/).
