Multilingual Reasoning Cascades Need More Context
Arnav Mazumder, Dengjia Zhang, Shuyue Stella Li +2
Translation cascades for reasoning translate the query from another language to English, reason in English, and translate the answer back to the original language. This is a compet…
Deep Reasoning in General Purpose Agents via Structured Meta-Cognition
Dean Light, Michael Theologitis, Kshitish Ghate +7
Humans intuitively solve complex problems by flexibly shifting among reasoning modes: they plan, execute, revise intermediate goals, resolve ambiguity through associative judgment,…
Cold-Start Personalization via Training-Free Priors from Structured World Models
Avinandan Bose, Shuyue Stella Li, Faeze Brahman +6
Cold-start personalization requires inferring user preferences through interaction when no user-specific historical data is available. The core challenge is a routing problem: each…
Small Reward Models via Backward Inference
Yike Wang, Faeze Brahman, Shangbin Feng +3
Reward models (RMs) play a central role throughout the language model (LM) pipeline, particularly in non-verifiable domains. However, the dominant LLM-as-a-Judge paradigm relies on…
RLVE: Scaling Up Reinforcement Learning for Language Models with Adaptive Verifiable Environments
Zhiyuan Zeng, Hamish Ivison, Yiping Wang +14
We introduce Reinforcement Learning (RL) with Adaptive Verifiable Environments (RLVE), an approach using verifiable environments that procedurally generate problems and provide alg…
PrefDisco: Benchmarking Proactive Personalized Reasoning
Shuyue Stella Li, Avinandan Bose, Faeze Brahman +4
Current large language model (LLM) development treats task-solving and preference-alignment as separate challenges, optimizing first for objective correctness, then for alignment t…
