1. Table-Critic: A Multi-Agent Framework for Collaborative Criticism and Refinement in Table Reasoning (2025 · 25 citations)
   Large language models often fail at multi-step reasoning over tables. A wrong choice early in the chain, such as picking the wrong row or column, tends to carry through to the final answer. Earlier decomposition methods like Binder, Dater and Chain-of-Table have no reliable way to catch and fix these intermediate…
2. UniCreative: Unifying Long-form Logic and Short-form Sparkle via Reference-Free Reinforcement Learning (2026 · 1 citation)
   LLM creative writing faces two opposite problems. Long stories and scripts need global planning, or they drift off topic, repeat themselves and lose structure. Short pieces such as poems, slogans or blessings get worse when forced through rigid outlines, and models already tend toward bland, high-probability wording.…
