Omanic: Towards Step-wise Evaluation of Multi-hop Reasoning in Large Language Models

Xiaojie Gu, Sherry T. Tong, Aosong Feng +8

Evaluating the reasoning abilities of large language models (LLMs) solely from final answers can obscure failures in intermediate steps, especially in multi-hop QA benchmarks witho…

Prism: Efficient Test-Time Scaling via Hierarchical Search and Self-Verification for Discrete Diffusion Language Models

Jinbin Bai, Yixuan Li, Yuchen Zhu +8

Inference-time compute has re-emerged as a practical way to improve LLM reasoning. Most test-time scaling (TTS) algorithms rely on autoregressive decoding, which is ill-suited to d…

PRISM: A Unified Framework for Post-Training LLMs Without Verifiable Rewards

Mukesh Ghimire, Aosong Feng, Liwen You +3

Current techniques for post-training Large Language Models (LLMs) rely either on costly human supervision or on external verifiers to boost performance on tasks such as mathematica…
