1. Nature-Inspired Population-Based Evolution of Large Language Models (2026 · 8 citations)
   The paper frames a new problem: how to improve a whole group of large language models by treating it as an evolving population rather than tuning one model.
2. SAFE-QAQ: End-to-End Slow-Thinking Audio-Text Fraud Detection via Reinforcement Learning (2026 · 3 citations)
   Most phone-scam detectors work on ASR transcripts. This means recognition errors carry through to the decision, and acoustic signals such as tone, stress or staged background noise are lost. SAFE-QAQ addresses this by running a large audio-language model (LALM) directly on raw call audio, so no transcription step is…
3. Why Do More Experts Fail? A Theoretical Analysis of Model Merging (2026 · 2 citations)
   Merging several fine-tuned expert models into one multi-task model saves storage and compute. However, adding more experts stops helping quickly: state-of-the-art methods such as GENOME level off at around six merged models on most datasets. This paper asks why that ceiling exists. Using high-dimensional geometry…
4. DeepMed: Building a Medical DeepResearch Agent via Multi-hop Med-Search Data and Turn-Controlled Agentic Training & Inference (2026 · 1 citation)
   General-purpose DeepResearch (DR) agents, which interleave web search with reasoning, improve only modestly when moved to medicine.
5. MoLAN: A Unified Modality-Aware Noise Dynamic Editing Framework for Multimodal Sentiment Analysis (2026 · 1 citation)
   Multimodal sentiment analysis (MSA) models often get misled by irrelevant visual or acoustic signals, such as background laughter that contradicts a speaker's mood.
6. NEAT: Neuron-Based Early Exit for Large Reasoning Models (2026 · 1 citation)
   Large Reasoning Models frequently keep producing reasoning after they have already reached a correct solution.
7. PlaM: Training-Free Plateau-Guided Model Merging for Better Visual Grounding in MLLMs (2026 · 1 citation)
   Multimodal instruction fine-tuning tends to weaken the text reasoning that MLLMs inherit from their base language models.
8. Resource-Limited Joint Multimodal Sentiment Reasoning and Classification via Chain-of-Thought Enhancement and Distillation (2026 · 1 citation)
   The paper tackles multimodal sentiment analysis of text-image posts when only a small model can be deployed.
9. CIRAG: Construction–Integration Retrieval and Adaptive Generation for Multi-hop Question Answering (2026)
   Triple-based iterative RAG for multi-hop QA has two weaknesses. It keeps only one best triple per step, so early mistakes compound and parallel evidence is lost. It also uses a single evidence granularity, which can be too noisy or too sparse depending on the question. CIRAG draws on Kintsch's…
10. GenPT: Beyond Self-Report for Reliable LLM Psychometrics via Generative Projective Testing (2026)
    Psychological profiling of persona-conditioned LLM agents (PC-Agents) usually relies on self-report questionnaires such as BFI, BDI or MBTI.
