The authors ask whether knowledge editing can fix the specific toxic parts of a model instead of only masking them. 2. **[Beyond Prompt Engineering: Robust Behavior Control in LLMs via Steering Target Atoms](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/wang-2025-beyond-prompt-engineering-robust-behavior/)** *(2025 · 14 citations)* The paper addresses how to control LLM behavior at inference time, especially safety, without relying on fragile system prompts. 3. **[Why Steering Works: Toward a Unified View of Language Model Parameter Dynamics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2026-why-steering-works-unified-view/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Methods for controlling LLM behaviour are usually studied separately, with different assumptions and evaluation setups. 4. **[How Controllable Are Large Language Models? A Unified Evaluation across Behavioral Granularities](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/xu-2026-how-controllable-are-large-language/)** *(2026)* LLMs used in sensitive settings can drift in intent, tone, or persona. Existing steering benchmarks cover isolated behaviors, define concepts inconsistently, and ignore how specific a control target is. The authors propose SteerEval, a benchmark that crosses three behavioral domains (language features, sentiment… ## Co-authors here 12 of 16 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Huajun Chen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/huajun-chen/) ×4 - [Ningyu Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ningyu-zhang/) ×4 - [Shumin Deng](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shumin-deng/) ×4 - [Mengru Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/mengru-wang/) ×3 - [Haiwen Hong](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haiwen-hong/) ×2 - [Hui Xue](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/hui-xue/) ×2 - [Longtao Huang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/longtao-huang/) ×2 - [Yunzhi Yao](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yunzhi-yao/) ×2 - [Chenyan WU](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chenyan-wu/) - [Haoming Xu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/haoming-xu/) - [Jindong Wang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jindong-wang/) - [Linyi Yang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/linyi-yang/) ## 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/) ×4: [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) ×2, [ACL 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2025/), [ACL 2024](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2024/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 72 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [20 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ziwen-xu/cited-by/).
