To Infinity and Beyond: Tool-Use Unlocks Length Generalization in State Space Models

Eran Malach, Omid Saremi, Sinead Williamson +5

State Space Models (SSMs) have become the leading alternative to Transformers for sequence modeling. Their primary advantage is efficiency in long-context and long-form generation,…

RL for Reasoning by Adaptively Revealing Rationales

Mohammad Hossein Amani, Aryo Lotfi, Nicolas Mario Baldwin +4

Learning in the combinatorially large output space of sequence generation problems is challenging as providing expert demonstrations scales poorly with sequence length, and RL stru…

AbstRaL: Augmenting LLMs' Reasoning by Reinforcing Abstract Thinking

Silin Gao, Antoine Bosselut, Samy Bengio +1

Recent studies have shown that large language models (LLMs), especially smaller ones, often lack robustness in grade school math (GSM) reasoning. In particular, they tend to experi…

What Makes the Preferred Thinking Direction for LLMs in Multiple-choice Questions?

Yizhe Zhang, Richard Bai, Zijin Gu +5

Language models usually use left-to-right (L2R) autoregressive factorization. However, L2R factorization may not always be the best inductive bias. Therefore, we investigate whethe…
