Autodata: An agentic data scientist to create high quality synthetic data
Ilia Kulikov, Chenxi Whitehouse, Tianhao Wu +12
We introduce Autodata, a general method that enables AI agents to act as data scientists who build high quality training and evaluation data. We show how to train (meta-optimize) s…
Task-Dependent Evaluation of LLM Output Homogenization: A Taxonomy-Guided Framework
Shomik Jain, Jack Lanchantin, Maximilian Nickel +4
Large language models often generate homogeneous outputs, but whether this is problematic depends on the specific task. For objective math tasks, responses may vary in terms of pro…
Reasoning over mathematical objects: on-policy reward modeling and test time aggregation
Pranjal Aggarwal, Marjan Ghazvininejad, Seungone Kim +18
The ability to precisely derive mathematical objects is a core requirement for downstream STEM applications, including mathematics, physics, and chemistry, where reasoning must cul…
SPICE: Self-Play In Corpus Environments Improves Reasoning
Bo Liu, Chuanyang Jin, Seungone Kim +7
Self-improving systems require environmental interaction for continuous adaptation. We introduce SPICE (Self-Play In Corpus Environments), a reinforcement learning framework where…
OptimalThinkingBench: Evaluating Over and Underthinking in LLMs
Pranjal Aggarwal, Seungone Kim, Jack Lanchantin +4
Thinking LLMs solve complex tasks at the expense of increased compute and overthinking on simpler problems, while non-thinking LLMs are faster and cheaper but underthink on harder…
CoT-Self-Instruct: Building high-quality synthetic prompts for reasoning and non-reasoning tasks
Ping Yu, Jack Lanchantin, Tianlu Wang +6
We propose CoT-Self-Instruct, a synthetic data generation method that instructs LLMs to first reason and plan via Chain-of-Thought (CoT) based on given seed tasks, and then generat…
