Turbo Connection: Reasoning as Information Flow from Higher to Lower Layers
Mohan Tang, Sidi Lu
Complex problems, whether in math, logic, or planning, are solved by humans through a sequence of steps where the result of one step informs the next. In this work, we adopt the pe…
Too Correct to Learn: Reinforcement Learning on Saturated Reasoning Data
Zhenwen Liang, Yujun Zhou, Sidi Lu +3
Reinforcement Learning (RL) enhances LLM reasoning, yet a paradox emerges as models scale: strong base models saturate standard benchmarks (e.g., MATH), yielding correct but homoge…
Locas: Your Models are Principled Initializers of Locally-Supported Parametric Memories
Sidi Lu, Zhenwen Liang, Dongyang Ma +3
In this paper, we aim to bridge test-time-training with a new type of parametric memory that can be flexibly offloaded from or merged into model parameters. We present Locas, a Loc…
Save the Good Prefix: Precise Error Penalization via Process-Supervised RL to Enhance LLM Reasoning
Haolin Liu, Dian Yu, Sidi Lu +6
Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a powerful framework for improving the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). However, most existing RL approaches rely…
Can LLMs Guide Their Own Exploration? Gradient-Guided Reinforcement Learning for LLM Reasoning
Zhenwen Liang, Sidi Lu, Wenhao Yu +4
Reinforcement learning has become essential for strengthening the reasoning abilities of large language models, yet current exploration mechanisms remain fundamentally misaligned w…
