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…
Cognitive bias in LLM reasoning compromises interpretation of clinical oncology notes
Matthew W. Kenaston, Umair Ayub, Mihir Parmar +14
Despite high performance on clinical benchmarks, large language models may reach correct conclusions through faulty reasoning, a failure mode with safety implications for oncology…
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…
RECAP: Transparent Inference-Time Emotion Alignment for Medical Dialogue Systems
Adarsh Srinivasan, Jacob Dineen, Muhammad Umar Afzal +3
Large language models in healthcare often produce emotionally flat or opaque responses, failing to provide the transparent reasoning required for clinical trust. We present RECAP (…
ThinkTuning: Instilling Cognitive Reflections without Distillation
Aswin RRV, Jacob Dineen, Divij Handa +4
Recent advances in test-time scaling have led to the emergence of thinking LLMs that exhibit self-reflective behaviors and multi-step reasoning. While RL drives this self-improveme…
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…
AALC: Large Language Model Efficient Reasoning via Adaptive Accuracy-Length Control
Ruosen Li, Ziming Luo, Quan Zhang +4
Large reasoning models (LRMs) achieve impressive reasoning capabilities by generating lengthy chain-of-thoughts, but this "overthinking" incurs high latency and cost without commen…
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…
