The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. Curriculum Learning for Natural Language Understanding (2020 · 240 citations)
   Pre-trained language models such as BERT are usually fine-tuned on NLU tasks with training examples shuffled randomly and weighted equally.
2. DeepResearch Bench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Deep Research Agents (2025 · 41 citations)
   Deep Research Agents (DRAs) are LLM systems that search the web over many steps and turn what they find into long, cited reports.
3. FS-Researcher: Test-Time Scaling for Long-Horizon Research Tasks with File-System-Based Agents (2026 · 1 citation)
   Deep research agents must browse many webpages and produce long reports, but their trajectories quickly exceed the model's context window.
4. WildGraphBench: Benchmarking GraphRAG with Wild-Source Corpora (2026 · 1 citation)
   Most GraphRAG benchmarks use short, pre-cleaned passages. That makes it hard to judge how graph-based retrieval copes with long, messy, mixed-source document collections, the setting where it should help most. WildGraphBench fills this gap using Wikipedia. Articles from 12 top-level topics are sampled. The external…
