Multilingual Reasoning Cascades Need More Context

Arnav Mazumder, Dengjia Zhang, Shuyue Stella Li +2

Translation cascades for reasoning translate the query from another language to English, reason in English, and translate the answer back to the original language. This is a compet…

RLVE: Scaling Up Reinforcement Learning for Language Models with Adaptive Verifiable Environments

Zhiyuan Zeng, Hamish Ivison, Yiping Wang +14

We introduce Reinforcement Learning (RL) with Adaptive Verifiable Environments (RLVE), an approach using verifiable environments that procedurally generate problems and provide alg…

Deep Reasoning in General Purpose Agents via Structured Meta-Cognition

Dean Light, Michael Theologitis, Kshitish Ghate +7

Humans intuitively solve complex problems by flexibly shifting among reasoning modes: they plan, execute, revise intermediate goals, resolve ambiguity through associative judgment,…

EvoLM: Self-Evolving Language Models through Co-Evolved Discriminative Rubrics

Shuyue Stella Li, Rui Xin, Teng Xiao +8

Language models encode substantial evaluative knowledge from pretraining, yet current post-training methods rely on external supervision (human annotations, proprietary models, or…

PrefDisco: Benchmarking Proactive Personalized Reasoning

Shuyue Stella Li, Avinandan Bose, Faeze Brahman +4

Current large language model (LLM) development treats task-solving and preference-alignment as separate challenges, optimizing first for objective correctness, then for alignment t…

Small Reward Models via Backward Inference

Yike Wang, Faeze Brahman, Shangbin Feng +3

Reward models (RMs) play a central role throughout the language model (LM) pipeline, particularly in non-verifiable domains. However, the dominant LLM-as-a-Judge paradigm relies on…
