The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. LLMs and the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus: Successes, Failures, and the Importance of Object-based Representations (2023 · 32 citations)
   The paper asks whether GPT-style LLMs can handle the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC), a benchmark of grid puzzles built on human "core knowledge" priors such as objectness, counting and basic geometry.
2. Multimodal Item Scoring for Natural Language Recommendation via Gaussian Process Regression with LLM Relevance Judgments (2026 · 4 citations)
   Natural Language Recommendation (NLRec) ranks items, each described by several text passages, against a free-form user request.
3. Semantic XPath: Structured Agentic Memory Access for Conversational AI (2026 · 3 citations)
   Task-oriented conversational agents, such as those that plan trips, manage to-do lists or recommend meal kits, must keep revisable, hierarchical memory across many turns.
