Conjuring Semantic Similarity
Tian Yu Liu, Stefano Soatto
The semantic similarity between sample expressions measures the distance between their latent 'meaning'. These meanings are themselves typically represented by textual expressions.…
AI Agents as Universal Task Solvers
Alessandro Achille, Stefano Soatto
We describe AI agents as stochastic dynamical systems and frame the problem of learning to reason as in transductive inference: Rather than approximating the distribution of past d…
Experience-Guided Adaptation of Inference-Time Reasoning Strategies
Adam Stein, Matthew Trager, Benjamin Bowman +4
Enabling agentic AI systems to adapt their problem-solving approaches based on post-training interactions remains a fundamental challenge. While systems that update and maintain a…
e1: Learning Adaptive Control of Reasoning Effort
Michael Kleinman, Matthew Trager, Alessandro Achille +2
Increasing the thinking budget of AI models can significantly improve accuracy, but not all questions warrant the same amount of reasoning. Users may prefer to allocate different a…
Re-FORC: Adaptive Reward Prediction for Efficient Chain-of-Thought Reasoning
Renos Zabounidis, Aditya Golatkar, Michael Kleinman +3
We propose Re-FORC, an adaptive reward prediction method that, given a query, enables prediction of the expected future rewards as a function of the number of future thinking token…
LATTS: Locally Adaptive Test-Time Scaling
Theo Uscidda, Matthew Trager, Michael Kleinman +3
One common strategy for improving the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) on downstream tasks involves using a \emph{verifier model} to either select the best answer from a…
