  1. Memory-R1: Enhancing Large Language Model Agents to Manage and Utilize Memories via Reinforcement Learning (2026 · 49 citations)
    LLMs lose information that falls outside their context window. Systems that add an external memory bank usually depend on fixed heuristics or prompted LLMs to choose what to store and retrieve, and nothing in that choice is trained against answer correctness. Memory-R1 addresses this with reinforcement learning…
  2. Problem Solving Through Human–AI Preference-based Cooperation (2025 · 9 citations)
    Generative AI systems, including LLMs, vision-language models and code models, still struggle with complex expert-domain tasks.
  3. KletterMix: Climbing Toward High-Quality German Pretraining Data - The Full Report (2026 · 1 citation)
    Open German pretraining data still trails English. Native German collections are usually smaller, noisier, less documented, and seldom tested by actually training models on them. The authors take a different route: instead of crawling more German web text, they machine-translate a strong English mixture, ClimbMix…
