Input-Conditioned Search for Efficient Test-Time Scaling of Recursive Reasoners
Haochen Shi, Tianwen Fu, Qianggang Ding +7
People often tackle difficult problems by thinking more deeply or exploring more possibilities. Similarly, recursive reasoners, which reason by repeatedly applying a learned update…
Inference-Time Conformal Reasoning with Valid Factuality Control for Large Language Models
Ting Wang, Yuanjie Shi, Yan Yan +1
Large language models (LLMs) increasingly perform multi-step reasoning, where intermediate claims form implicit directed acyclic graphs whose node correctness is structurally condi…
When Reasoning Meets Its Laws
Junyu Zhang, Yifan Sun, Tianang Leng +4
Despite the superior performance of Large Reasoning Models (LRMs), their reasoning behaviors are often counterintuitive, leading to suboptimal reasoning capabilities. To theoretica…
On The Fragility of Benchmark Contamination Detection in Reasoning Models
Han Wang, Haoyu Li, Brian Ko +1
Leaderboards for LRMs have turned evaluation into a competition, incentivizing developers to optimize directly on benchmark suites. A shortcut to achieving higher rankings is to in…
Learning a Zeroth-Order Optimizer for Fine-Tuning LLMs
Kairun Zhang, Haoyu Li, Yanjun Zhao +2
Zeroth-order optimizers have recently emerged as an attractive approach for fine-tuning large language models (LLMs), as they avoid backpropagation and can substantially reduce mem…
DecepChain: Inducing Deceptive Reasoning in Large Language Models
Wei Shen, Han Wang, Haoyu Li +1
Large Language Models (LLMs) have been demonstrating strong reasoning capability with their chain-of-thoughts (CoT), which are routinely used by humans to judge answer quality. Thi…
AlphaOne: Reasoning Models Thinking Slow and Fast at Test Time
Junyu Zhang, Runpei Dong, Han Wang +8
This paper presents AlphaOne (1), a universal framework for modulating reasoning progress in large reasoning models (LRMs) at test time. 1 first introduces moment, which…
