Atomic Skills are the Prerequisite: When Reinforcement Learning Synthesizes Compositional Reasoning, and When It Only Amplifies
Sitao Cheng, Xunjian Yin, Ruiwen Zhou +5
Does Reinforcement Learning (RL) merely amplify existing skills, or synthesize novel skills? We investigate this question through the lens of Complementary Reasoning: the critical…
LEDOM: Reverse Language Model
Xunjian Yin, Sitao Cheng, Yuxi Xie +6
Autoregressive language models are trained exclusively left-to-right. We explore the complementary factorization, training right-to-left at scale, and ask what reasoning patterns e…
Gödel Agent: A Self-Referential Agent Framework for Recursive Self-Improvement
Xunjian Yin, Xinyi Wang, Liangming Pan +3
The rapid advancement of large language models (LLMs) has significantly enhanced the capabilities of AI-driven agents across various tasks. However, existing agentic systems, wheth…
InductionBench: LLMs Fail in the Simplest Complexity Class
Wenyue Hua, Tyler Wong, Sun Fei +3
Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable improvements in reasoning and many existing benchmarks have been addressed by models such as o1 and o3 either fully or partially.…
Investigating the Transferability of Code Repair for Low-Resource Programming Languages
Kyle Wong, Alfonso Amayuelas, Liangming Pan +1
Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable performance on code generation tasks. A recent use case is iterative code repair, where an LLM fixes an incorrect program by rati…
Understanding the Interplay between Parametric and Contextual Knowledge for Large Language Models
Sitao Cheng, Liangming Pan, Xunjian Yin +2
Large language models (LLMs) encode vast amounts of knowledge during pre-training (parametric knowledge, or PK) and can further be enhanced by incorporating contextual knowledge (C…
