Multi-Turn Agentic Scientific Literature Search via Workflow Induction
Jisen Li, Bingxuan Li, Nanyi Jiang +10
Scientific literature search often requires more than retrieving papers from a single query: users' intents are underspecified, preference-dependent, and evolve through interaction…
: Unifying Generation and Self-Verification for Parallel Reasoners
Harman Singh, Xiuyu Li, Kusha Sareen +14
Test-time scaling for complex reasoning tasks shows that leveraging inference-time compute, by methods such as independently sampling and aggregating multiple solutions, results in…
When Does Divide and Conquer Work for Long Context LLM? A Noise Decomposition Framework
Zhen Xu, Shang Zhu, Jue Wang +5
We investigate the challenge of applying Large Language Models (LLMs) to long texts. We propose a theoretical framework that distinguishes the failure modes of long context tasks i…
Understanding and Steering the Cognitive Behaviors of Reasoning Models at Test-Time
Zhenyu Zhang, Xiaoxia Wu, Zhongzhu Zhou +7
Large Language Models (LLMs) often rely on long chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning to solve complex tasks. While effective, these trajectories are frequently inefficient, leading to…
Shrinking the Generation-Verification Gap with Weak Verifiers
Jon Saad-Falcon, E. Kelly Buchanan, Mayee F. Chen +10
Verifiers can improve language model capabilities by scoring and ranking responses from generated candidates. Currently, high-quality verifiers are either unscalable (e.g., humans)…
Disentangling Reasoning and Knowledge in Medical Large Language Models
Rahul Thapa, Qingyang Wu, Kevin Wu +11
Medical reasoning in large language models (LLMs) aims to emulate clinicians' diagnostic thinking, but current benchmarks such as MedQA-USMLE, MedMCQA, and PubMedQA often mix reaso…
