MathShikkha: A Controlled Study of Answer-Only and Chain-of-Thought Supervision for Bangla Mathematical Reasoning in Small Language Models
Rahma Simin Ali, Jawad Hossain
Mathematical reasoning remains challenging in low-resource languages such as Bangla. We study whether teacher-generated Bangla Chain-of-Thought (CoT) supervision provides benefits…

HintMR: Eliciting Stronger Mathematical Reasoning in Small Language Models
Jawad Hossain, Xiangyu Guo, Jiawei Zhou +1
Small language models (SLMs) often struggle with complex mathematical reasoning due to limited capacity to maintain long chains of intermediate steps and to recover from early erro…
