The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. Summarizing Online Forum Discussions – Can Dialog Acts of Individual Messages Help? (2014 · 59 citations)
   Long threads on web forums often run across many pages, with several participants contributing competing opinions and fixes.
2. Iterative Hypothesis Generation for Scientific Discovery with Monte Carlo Nash Equilibrium Self-Refining Trees (2025 · 6 citations)
   Purely LLM-based methods for generating scientific hypotheses often produce ideas that are either unoriginal or poorly grounded.
3. SCI-IDEA: Context-Aware Scientific Ideation Using Token and Sentence Embeddings (2025 · 4 citations)
   SCI-IDEA tackles a hard problem for LLM-based research assistants: proposing scientific ideas that are novel, grounded in context, and actually workable.
4. Improving Amharic Information Retrieval with Translative and Multi-Agent Debate Retrieval Augmented Generation (2026)
   The paper tackles retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for Amharic, a widely spoken Ethiopian language with few resources.
