Verify to Amplify: Improving Reasoning via Learned Chain-of-Thought Verification

Maria-Florina Balcan, Avrim Blum, Kiriaki Fragkia +2

Large Language Models (LLMs) using chain-of-thought have demonstrated great potential for solving complex reasoning and planning tasks. Despite these advances, LLM-generated output…

SAIL: Self-Amplified Iterative Learning for Diffusion Model Alignment with Minimal Human Feedback

Xiaoxuan He, Siming Fu, Wanli Li +5

Aligning diffusion models with human preferences remains challenging, particularly when reward models are unavailable or impractical to obtain, and collecting large-scale preferenc…

Honesty over Accuracy: Trustworthy Language Models through Reinforced Hesitation

Mohamad Amin Mohamadi, Tianhao Wang, Zhiyuan Li

Modern language models fail a fundamental requirement of trustworthy intelligence: knowing when not to answer. Despite achieving impressive accuracy on benchmarks, these models pro…

Reasoning with Latent Thoughts: On the Power of Looped Transformers

Nikunj Saunshi, Nishanth Dikkala, Zhiyuan Li +2

Large language models have shown remarkable reasoning abilities and scaling laws suggest that large parameter count, especially along the depth axis, is the primary driver. In this…
