LEAD: Length-Efficient Adaptive and Dynamic Reasoning for Large Language Models

Songtao Wei, Yi Li, Zhikai Li +7

Large reasoning models, such as OpenAI o1 and DeepSeek-R1, tend to become increasingly verbose as their reasoning capabilities improve. These inflated Chain-of-Thought (CoT) trajec…

Test-Time Preference Optimization: On-the-Fly Alignment via Iterative Textual Feedback

Yafu Li, Xuyang Hu, Xiaoye Qu +2

Large language models (LLMs) demonstrate impressive performance but lack the flexibility to adapt to human preferences quickly without retraining. In this work, we introduce Test-t…
