Outside verifiable areas like math or code, these are hard to obtain because the criteria vary and no ground truth exists. The authors ask whether a reward model (RM) can be trained so that giving it more inference compute yields better rewards on… 3. **[Enhancing Multilingual Capabilities of Large Language Models through Self-Distillation from Resource-Rich Languages](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhang-2024-enhancing-multilingual-capabilities-large-language/)** *(2024 · 30 citations)* LLMs trained mostly on English handle most other languages much worse. The usual remedy is to machine-translate instruction data into the target language and fine-tune on it. The authors argue this approach has three weaknesses: it ignores what the model already does well in its strongest language, it inherits… 4. **[Scaling External Knowledge Input Beyond Context Windows of LLMs via Multi-Agent Collaboration](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/liu-2026-scaling-external-knowledge-input-beyond/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Large language models can use more retrieved evidence to solve harder tasks, but their context window caps how much they can take in. ## All works 6 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 4 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1.
