1. Language Model Tokenizers Introduce Unfairness Between Languages (2023 · 206 citations)
   The authors examine whether language model tokenizers treat different languages equally. They show that inequality arises even before the model receives the text: already at the stage where the text is split into tokens. To compare languages, they propose the notion of tokenizer parity. The same sentence is taken in…
2. Many Heads Are Better Than One: Improved Scientific Idea Generation by A LLM-Based Multi-Agent System (2025 · 40 citations)
   Most LLM tools for automated research ideation use a single agent or rely on artificial collaboration setups, such as invented researcher profiles or synthetic co-author networks.
3. Benchmarking Open-ended Audio Dialogue Understanding for Large Audio-Language Models (2025 · 12 citations)
   Large Audio-Language Models (LALMs) such as GPT-4o can now hold spoken conversations directly with users. Until this work, however, no benchmark tested how well they understand open-ended audio dialogue. Earlier evaluations covered basic audio tasks, audio QA driven by text instructions, or general-purpose chat only.
