Encode, Think, Decode: Scaling test-time reasoning with recursive latent thoughts

Yeskendir Koishekenov, Aldo Lipani, Nicola Cancedda

Most efforts to improve the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs) involve either scaling the number of parameters and the size of training data, or scaling inferen…

Verifying Chain-of-Thought Reasoning via Its Computational Graph

Zheng Zhao, Yeskendir Koishekenov, Xianjun Yang +2

Current Chain-of-Thought (CoT) verification methods predict reasoning correctness based on outputs (black-box) or activations (gray-box), but offer limited insight into why a compu…

Calibrating Verbal Uncertainty as a Linear Feature to Reduce Hallucinations

Ziwei Ji, Lei Yu, Yeskendir Koishekenov +6

LLMs often adopt an assertive language style also when making false claims. Such ``overconfident hallucinations'' mislead users and erode trust. Achieving the ability to express in…

An Exploration of Conditioning Methods in Graph Neural Networks

Yeskendir Koishekenov, Erik J. Bekkers

The flexibility and effectiveness of message passing based graph neural networks (GNNs) induced considerable advances in deep learning on graph-structured data. In such approaches,…

Reducing Over-smoothing in Graph Neural Networks Using Relational Embeddings

Yeskendir Koishekenov

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have achieved a lot of success with graph-structured data. However, it is observed that the performance of GNNs does not improve (or even worsen) as th…
