Evolutionary Feature Engineering for Structured Data

Ege Onur Taga, Yilin Zhuang, M. Emrullah Ildiz +4

Large language models are increasingly used as open-ended search operators in evolutionary optimization. We introduce Evolutionary Feature Engineering (EFE), a framework for using…

Evolutionary Multi-Task Optimization for LLM-Guided Program Discovery

Halil Alperen Gozeten, Xuechen Zhang, Emrullah Ildiz +3

Recent LLM-guided evolutionary search methods have shown that iterative program mutation can discover strong algorithms, but they typically optimize each task independently, even w…

Learning to Correct: Calibrated Reinforcement Learning for Multi-Attempt Chain-of-Thought

Muhammed Emrullah Ildiz, Halil Alperen Gozeten, Ege Onur Taga +1

State-of-the-art reasoning models utilize long chain-of-thought (CoT) to solve increasingly complex problems using more test-time computation. In this work, we explore a long CoT s…

Retrieval Augmented Time Series Forecasting

Kutay Tire, Ege Onur Taga, Muhammed Emrullah Ildiz +1

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a central component of modern LLM systems, particularly in scenarios where up-to-date information is crucial for accurately responding to us…

Continuous Chain of Thought Enables Parallel Exploration and Reasoning

Halil Alperen Gozeten, M. Emrullah Ildiz, Xuechen Zhang +3

Modern language models generate chain-of-thought traces by autoregressively sampling tokens from a finite vocabulary. While this discrete sampling has achieved remarkable success,…

Test-Time Training Provably Improves Transformers as In-context Learners

Halil Alperen Gozeten, M. Emrullah Ildiz, Xuechen Zhang +3

Test-time training (TTT) methods explicitly update the weights of a model to adapt to the specific test instance, and they have found success in a variety of settings, including mo…
