DIVE: Unlocking Self-Improvement in Frozen Language Models Through Diversity-Driven Skill Evolution

Siheng Xiong, Ali Payani, Oguzhan Gungordu +1

Large language models (LLMs) cannot retain post-deployment experience without parameter updates. We introduce DIVE, a diversity-driven framework that enables frozen LLMs to improve…

MOSAIC: Adversarial Co-evolution of Specialist Heuristics and Problem Instances for LLM-based Automated Heuristic Design

Oguzhan Gungordu, Siheng Xiong, Faramarz Fekri

Automated heuristic design (AHD) with large language models (LLMs) has produced strong heuristics for combinatorial optimization problems (COPs). Yet existing frameworks optimize f…

Enhancing Long Chain-of-Thought Reasoning through Multi-Path Plan Aggregation

Siheng Xiong, Ali Payani, Faramarz Fekri

Inference-time scaling enhances the reasoning ability of a language model (LM) by extending its chain-of-thought (CoT). However, existing approaches typically generate the entire r…

Analysis of Semantic Communication for Logic-based Hypothesis Deduction

Ahmet Faruk Saz, Siheng Xiong, Faramarz Fekri

This work presents an analysis of semantic communication in the context of First-Order Logic (FOL)-based deduction. Specifically, the receiver holds a set of hypotheses about the S…
