1. MLLM-as-a-Judge: Assessing Multimodal LLM-as-a-Judge with Vision-Language Benchmark (2024 · 60 citations)
   Automatic metrics for multimodal model outputs, such as exact matching or embedding similarity, miss fine-grained quality criteria.
2. Improved Dynamic Memory Network for Dialogue Act Classification with Adversarial Training (2018 · 14 citations)
   The paper addresses dialogue act (DA) classification: assigning each utterance in a conversation a label such as Question, Answer, Greeting or Backchannel that captures what the speaker intends.
3. VerilogLAVD: LLM-Aided Pattern Generation for Verilog CWE Detection (2026)
   LLMs often miss security flaws in Verilog RTL because HDL code runs concurrently. A hardware vulnerability usually comes from several statements interacting in parallel rather than from one sequential path, so models that read raw code or flattened graphs tend to overlook it. VerilogLAVD changes the LLM's role.…
