BayesBench: Evaluating LLM Belief Trajectories Under Multi-Turn Evidence Accumulation

Ankur Samanta, Akshayaa Magesh, Tal Lancewicki +7

Large language models (LLMs) are typically deployed in multi-turn conversations, where each turn provides new evidence that should reduce epistemic uncertainty about their environm…

Structure Enables Effective Self-Localization of Errors in LLMs

Ankur Samanta, Akshayaa Magesh, Ayush Jain +8

Self-correction in language models remains elusive. In this work, we explore whether language models can explicitly localize errors in incorrect reasoning, as a path toward buildin…

Credit Assignment with Resets in Language Model Reasoning

Ankur Samanta, Akshayaa Magesh, Ayush Jain +7

Contemporary reinforcement learning with verifiable reward methods post-train language models on multi-step reasoning by assigning a single outcome reward uniformly across all toke…

Multimodal Generative Recommendation for Fusing Semantic and Collaborative Signals

Moritz Vandenhirtz, Kaveh Hassani, Shervin Ghasemlou +5

Sequential recommender systems rank relevant items by modeling a user's interaction history and computing the inner product between the resulting user representation and stored ite…

Self-Improvement of Language Models by Post-Training on Multi-Agent Debate

Ankur Samanta, Akshayaa Magesh, Runzhe Wu +7

Self-improvement, where models improve beyond their current performance without external supervision, remains a challenge. The core difficulty is sourcing a training signal stronge…

How to Make LMs Strong Node Classifiers?

Zhe Xu, Kaveh Hassani, Si Zhang +7

Language Models (LMs) are increasingly challenging the dominance of domain-specific models, such as Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Graph Transformers (GTs), in graph learning tas…
