A Model Can Help Itself: Reward-Free Self-Training for LLM Reasoning

Mengqi Li, Lei Zhao, Anthony Man-Cho So +2

Can language models improve their reasoning performance without external rewards, using only their own sampled responses for training? We show that they can. We propose Self-evolvi…

Disentangling Language Roles in Multilingual LLM Task Execution

Qishi Zhan, Minxuan Hu, Seoyeon Jang +7

Multilingual LLMs are increasingly used when instruction, source content, and required response languages do not coincide. Existing benchmarks have expanded multilingual instructio…

TikArt: Stabilizing Aperture-Guided Fine-Grained Visual Reasoning with Reinforcement Learning

Hao Ding, Zhichuan Yang, Weijie Ge +3

Fine-grained visual reasoning in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) is bottlenecked by single-pass global image encoding: key evidence often lies in tiny objects, cluttered r…

LGM: Enhancing Large Language Models with Conceptual Meta-Relations and Iterative Retrieval

Wenchang Lei, Ping Zou, Yue Wang +2

Large language models (LLMs) exhibit strong semantic understanding, yet struggle when user instructions involve ambiguous or conceptually misaligned terms. We propose the Language…

DPO-Shift: Shifting the Distribution of Direct Preference Optimization

Xiliang Yang, Feng Jiang, Qianen Zhang +2

Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) and its variants have become increasingly popular for aligning language models with human preferences. These methods aim to teach models to bet…

StreamBP: Memory-Efficient Exact Backpropagation for Long Sequence Training of LLMs

Qijun Luo, Mengqi Li, Lei Zhao +1

Training language models on long sequence data is a demanding requirement for enhancing the model's capability on complex tasks, e.g., long-chain reasoning. However, as the sequenc…
