Chinese-Jev: Bringing System One Model to Chinese-Language Tasks

Zexiao Wang, Zihao Zhang, Xudong Wang +5

System One models such as Jev offer an efficient alternative to generative language models for tasks that require decisions rather than open-ended responses. However, existing Jev…

Latent On-Policy Self-Distillation

Guibin Zhang, Jiayang Lyu, Ran Sun +4

Enabling agents to learn from experience and internalize it into their policy has become a central problem in self-evolving AI. On-policy self-distillation (OPSD) offers an effecti…

SuperThoughts: Reasoning Tokens in Superposition

Zheyang Xiong, Shivam Garg, Max Yu +4

Long Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning improves LLM problem-solving but is computationally expensive due to sequential token generation. While recent works explore reasoning in cont…

Contextual Drag: How Errors in the Context Affect LLM Reasoning

Yun Cheng, Xingyu Zhu, Haoyu Zhao +1

Central to many self-improvement pipelines for large language models (LLMs) is the assumption that models can improve by reflecting on past mistakes. We study a phenomenon termed c…

Goedel-Code-Prover: Hierarchical Proof Search for Open State-of-the-Art Code Verification

Zenan Li, Ziran Yang, Deyuan He +7

Large language models (LLMs) can generate plausible code but offer limited guarantees of correctness. Formally verifying that implementations satisfy specifications requires constr…

AlgoVeri: An Aligned Benchmark for Verified Code Generation on Classical Algorithms

Haoyu Zhao, Ziran Yang, Jiawei Li +6

Vericoding refers to the generation of formally verified code from rigorous specifications. Recent AI models show promise in vericoding, but a unified methodology for cross-paradig…

Goedel-Prover-V2: Scaling Formal Theorem Proving with Scaffolded Data Synthesis and Self-Correction

Yong Lin, Shange Tang, Bohan Lyu +17

We introduce Goedel-Prover-V2, a series of open-source language models that set a new state-of-the-art in automated theorem proving. Built on the standard expert iteration and rein…

AlgoTune: Can Language Models Speed Up General-Purpose Numerical Programs?

Ori Press, Brandon Amos, Haoyu Zhao +21

Despite progress in language model (LM) capabilities, evaluations have thus far focused on models' performance on tasks that humans have previously solved, including in programming…

Ineq-Comp: Benchmarking Human-Intuitive Compositional Reasoning in Automated Theorem Proving on Inequalities

Haoyu Zhao, Yihan Geng, Shange Tang +5

LLM-based formal proof assistants (e.g., in Lean) hold great promise for automating mathematical discovery. But beyond syntactic correctness, do these systems truly understand math…

Unrealized Expectations: Comparing AI Methods vs Classical Algorithms for Maximum Independent Set

Yikai Wu, Haoyu Zhao, Sanjeev Arora

AI methods, such as generative models and reinforcement learning, have recently been applied to combinatorial optimization (CO) problems, especially NP-hard ones. This paper compar…

Can Models Learn Skill Composition from Examples?

Haoyu Zhao, Simran Kaur, Dingli Yu +2

As large language models (LLMs) become increasingly advanced, their ability to exhibit compositional generalization -- the capacity to combine learned skills in novel ways not enco…

Keeping LLMs Aligned After Fine-tuning: The Crucial Role of Prompt Templates

Kaifeng Lyu, Haoyu Zhao, Xinran Gu +3

Public LLMs such as the Llama 2-Chat underwent alignment training and were considered safe. Recently Qi et al. [2024] reported that even benign fine-tuning on seemingly safe datase…

Adversarial Attacks on Combinatorial Multi-Armed Bandits

Rishab Balasubramanian, Jiawei Li, Prasad Tadepalli +3

We study reward poisoning attacks on Combinatorial Multi-armed Bandits (CMAB). We first provide a sufficient and necessary condition for the attackability of CMAB, a notion to capt…
