Two problems make LLM planners fail there. Tasks need long chains of dependent sub-goals, so a plan written in one pass is often wrong. Plans also ignore which of several alternative sub-goals the agent can reach most easily… 2. **[RAT: Retrieval Augmented Thoughts Elicit Context-Aware Reasoning in Long-Horizon Generation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2024-rat-retrieval-augmented-thoughts-elicit/)** *(2024 · 46 citations)* Large language models that reason step by step often produce intermediate thoughts containing invented facts. 3. **[Activation-Guided Local Editing for Jailbreaking Attacks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2026-activation-guided-local-editing-jailbreaking/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* The paper addresses the weaknesses of current jailbreak techniques used to red-team aligned LLMs. Token-level attacks tend to yield gibberish suffixes that filters catch easily and that rarely transfer to other models. Prompt-level attacks depend on manual crafting or costly iterative search. The authors present… 4. **[Hey, That's My Data! Token-Only Dataset Inference in Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xiong-2026-hey-that-s-my-data/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Owners who suspect an LLM was trained on their proprietary or copyrighted text usually need log-probabilities to test this. Many commercial APIs, however, return only greedy top-1 tokens. The authors address this token-only setting with CatShift, which uses catastrophic forgetting as an auditing signal. ## Co-authors here 9 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Anji Liu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/anji-liu/) ×2 - [Xiaojian Ma](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaojian-ma/) ×2 - [Yitao Liang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yitao-liang/) ×2 - [Hao Peng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hao-peng/) - [Haoran Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haoran-li/) - [Jiaqi Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiaqi-li/) - [Pin-Yu Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/pin-yu-chen/) - [Tsung-Yi Ho](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tsung-yi-ho/) - [Ziqian Zeng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ziqian-zeng/) ## 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/) - [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 166 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [33 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/zihao-wang/cited-by/).
