Test-time Recursive Thinking: Self-Improvement without External Feedback

Yufan Zhuang, Chandan Singh, Liyuan Liu +5

Modern Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown rapid improvements in reasoning capabilities, driven largely by reinforcement learning (RL) with verifiable rewards. Here, we ask whe…

Text Generation Beyond Discrete Token Sampling

Yufan Zhuang, Liyuan Liu, Chandan Singh +2

In standard autoregressive generation, an LLM predicts the next-token distribution, samples a discrete token, and then discards the distribution, passing only the sampled token as…

Self-Taught Agentic Long Context Understanding

Yufan Zhuang, Xiaodong Yu, Jialian Wu +7

Answering complex, long-context questions remains a major challenge for large language models (LLMs) as it requires effective question clarifications and context retrieval. We prop…
