Self-Play Search Distillation for Large Language Model Reasoning
Lorenzo Molfetta, Wai-Chung Kwan, Giacomo Frisoni +5
Improving reasoning abilities in Large Language Models (LLMs) requires high-quality data that exposes difficult decisions, competing alternatives, and their consequences. Data scar…
Cross-Modal Attention Acts as a Frequency Filter: Why Verbose Prompts Improve Robustness in Vision-Language Models
Farooq Ahmad Wani, Maria Sofia Bucarelli, Mujtaba Hussain Mirza +5
Vision-language models (VLMs) are fragile under image corruption. We find that the wording of the question affects VLMs in two opposite ways. Verbose questions make VLMs substantia…
Chain-of-Thought Faithfulness of Reasoning Models Varies with Where and How Preference Cues Are Delivered
Aryo Pradipta Gema, Neel Rajani, Rohit Saxena +2
Chain-of-thought (CoT) monitoring assumes that reasoning traces faithfully record the information that shapes a model's answer. Existing faithfulness tests often place explicit bia…
SCOPE: Self-Play via Co-Evolving Policies for Open-Ended Tasks
Wai-Chung Kwan, Aryo Pradipta Gema, Joshua Ong Jun Leang +1
Self-play can train language models without external supervision. However, existing methods require rule-checkable answers, leaving open-ended tasks dependent on curated prompts or…
Can Retrieval Heads See Images? Multimodal Retrieval Heads in Long-Context Vision-Language Models
Aaron Branson Cigres Li, Zhaowei Wang, Yu Zhao +9
Large vision-language models increasingly rely on long-context modeling to reason over documents, hour-level videos, and long-horizon agent trajectories, requiring them to locate r…
Same Answer, Different Representations: Hidden instability in VLMs
Farooq Ahmad Wani, Alessandro Suglia, Rohit Saxena +6
The robustness of Vision Language Models (VLMs) is commonly assessed through output-level invariance, implicitly assuming that stable predictions reflect stable multimodal processi…
