VisAnalog: A Diagnostic Suite for Visual Concept Transfer on Natural Images
Zhaonan Li, Kyle R. Chickering, Bangzheng Li +13
A useful test of visual concept learning is not just whether a model can recognize a concept in a single image, but whether it can preserve and manipulate concept-level properties…
Skill Reuse as Compression in Agentic RL
Zhikun Xu, Yu Feng, Jacob Dineen +3
Large language model agents trained with reinforcement learning (RL) often learn brittle, task-specific shortcuts. We hypothesize that agents generalize better when their successfu…
Vocabulary Dropout for Curriculum Diversity in LLM Co-Evolution
Jacob Dineen, Aswin RRV, Zhikun Xu +1
Co-evolutionary self-play, where one language model generates problems and another solves them, promises curriculum learning without human supervision. The promise breaks down earl…
Reliable Use of Lemmas via Eligibility Reasoning and SectionAware Reinforcement Learning
Zhikun Xu, Xiaodong Yu, Ben Zhou +6
Recent large language models (LLMs) perform strongly on mathematical benchmarks yet often misapply lemmas, importing conclusions without validating assumptions. We formalize lemma$…
Unbiased Visual Reasoning with Controlled Visual Inputs
Zhaonan Li, Shijie Lu, Fei Wang +11
End-to-end Vision-language Models (VLMs) often answer visual questions by exploiting spurious correlations instead of causal visual evidence, and can become more shortcut-prone whe…
CORE: Concept-Oriented Reinforcement for Bridging the Definition-Application Gap in Mathematical Reasoning
Zijun Gao, Zhikun Xu, Xiao Ye +1
Large language models (LLMs) often solve challenging math exercises yet fail to apply the concept right when the problem requires genuine understanding. Popular Reinforcement Learn…
Evaluating Medical LLMs by Levels of Autonomy: A Survey Moving from Benchmarks to Applications
Xiao Ye, Jacob Dineen, Zhaonan Li +11
Medical Large language models achieve strong scores on standard benchmarks; however, the transfer of those results to safe and reliable performance in clinical workflows remains a…
RELATE-Sim: Leveraging Turning Point Theory and LLM Agents to Predict and Understand Long-Term Relationship Dynamics through Interactive Narrative Simulations
Matthew Yue, Zhikun Xu, Vivek Gupta +3
Most dating technologies optimize for getting together, not staying together. We present RELATE-Sim, a theory-grounded simulator that models how couples behave at consequential tur…
Atomic Thinking of LLMs: Decoupling and Exploring Mathematical Reasoning Abilities
Jiayi Kuang, Haojing Huang, Yinghui Li +8
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated outstanding performance in mathematical reasoning capabilities. However, we argue that current large-scale reasoning models primarily…
CC-LEARN: Cohort-based Consistency Learning
Xiao Ye, Shaswat Shrivastava, Zhaonan Li +6
Large language models excel at many tasks but still struggle with consistent, robust reasoning. We introduce Cohort-based Consistency Learning (CC-Learn), a reinforcement learning…
BOW: Training Language Models to Reason Over Plausible Next Words
Ming Shen, Zhikun Xu, Jacob Dineen +2
Next-word prediction (NWP) trains language models against a single observed continuation, even though many contexts admit multiple plausible next words. Recent RL-based next-word r…
QA-LIGN: Aligning LLMs through Constitutionally Decomposed QA
Jacob Dineen, Aswin RRV, Qin Liu +8
Alignment of large language models (LLMs) with principles like helpfulness, honesty, and harmlessness typically relies on scalar rewards that obscure which objectives drive the tra…
One Example Shown, Many Concepts Known! Counterexample-Driven Conceptual Reasoning in Mathematical LLMs
Yinghui Li, Jiayi Kuang, Haojing Huang +10
Leveraging mathematical Large Language Models (LLMs) for proof generation is a fundamental topic in LLMs research. We argue that the ability of current LLMs to prove statements lar…
ToW: Thoughts of Words Improve Reasoning in Large Language Models
Zhikun Xu, Ming Shen, Jacob Dineen +6
We introduce thoughts of words (ToW), a novel training-time data-augmentation method for next-word prediction. ToW views next-word prediction as a core reasoning task and injects f…
Let LLMs Take on the Latest Challenges! A Chinese Dynamic Question Answering Benchmark
Zhikun Xu, Yinghui Li, Ruixue Ding +7
How to better evaluate the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) is the focal point and hot topic in current LLMs research. Previous work has noted that due to the extremely…
Exploiting Abstract Meaning Representation for Open-Domain Question Answering
Cunxiang Wang, Zhikun Xu, Qipeng Guo +4
The Open-Domain Question Answering (ODQA) task involves retrieving and subsequently generating answers from fine-grained relevant passages within a database. Current systems levera…
Evaluating Open-QA Evaluation
Cunxiang Wang, Sirui Cheng, Qipeng Guo +7
This study focuses on the evaluation of the Open Question Answering (Open-QA) task, which can directly estimate the factuality of large language models (LLMs). Current automatic ev…
