Reward-Guided Speculative Decoding for Efficient LLM Reasoning

Baohao Liao, Yuhui Xu, Hanze Dong +5

We introduce Reward-Guided Speculative Decoding (RSD), a novel framework aimed at improving the efficiency of inference in large language models (LLMs). RSD synergistically combine…

A Minimalist Approach to LLM Reasoning: from Rejection Sampling to Reinforce

Wei Xiong, Jiarui Yao, Yuhui Xu +8

Reinforcement learning (RL) has become a prevailing approach for fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) on complex reasoning tasks. Among recent methods, GRPO stands out for its…

Scalable Chain of Thoughts via Elastic Reasoning

Yuhui Xu, Hanze Dong, Lei Wang +3

Large reasoning models (LRMs) have achieved remarkable progress on complex tasks by generating extended chains of thought (CoT). However, their uncontrolled output lengths pose sig…

Automatic Curriculum Expert Iteration for Reliable LLM Reasoning

Zirui Zhao, Hanze Dong, Amrita Saha +2

Hallucinations (i.e., generating plausible but inaccurate content) and laziness (i.e. excessive refusals or defaulting to "I don't know") persist as major challenges in LLM reasoni…

BOLT: Bootstrap Long Chain-of-Thought in Language Models without Distillation

Bo Pang, Hanze Dong, Jiacheng Xu +3

Large language models (LLMs), such as o1 from OpenAI, have demonstrated remarkable reasoning capabilities. o1 generates a long chain-of-thought (LongCoT) before answering a questio…
