GSM-Agent: Understanding Agentic Reasoning Using Controllable Environments
Hanlin Zhu, Tianyu Guo, Song Mei +4
As LLMs are increasingly deployed as agents, agentic reasoning - the ability to combine tool use, especially search, and reasoning - becomes a critical skill. However, it is hard t…
Emergence of Superposition: Unveiling the Training Dynamics of Chain of Continuous Thought
Hanlin Zhu, Shibo Hao, Zhiting Hu +3
Previous work shows that the chain of continuous thought (continuous CoT) improves the reasoning capability of large language models (LLMs) by enabling implicit parallel thinking,…
Reasoning by Superposition: A Theoretical Perspective on Chain of Continuous Thought
Hanlin Zhu, Shibo Hao, Zhiting Hu +3
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance in many applications, including challenging reasoning problems via chain-of-thoughts (CoTs) techniques that ge…
Safe Learning Under Irreversible Dynamics via Asking for Help
Benjamin Plaut, Juan Liévano-Karim, Hanlin Zhu +1
Most learning algorithms with formal regret guarantees essentially rely on trying all possible behaviors, which is problematic when some errors cannot be recovered from. Instead, w…
