Plan Then Action:High-Level Planning Guidance Reinforcement Learning for LLM Reasoning
Zhihao Dou, Qinjian Zhao, Zhongwei Wan +10
Large language models (LLMs) demonstrate strong reasoning abilities via Chain-of-Thought (CoT), but their token-level generation encourages local decisions and lacks global plannin…
Step-GRPO: Internalizing Dynamic Early Exit for Efficient Reasoning
Benteng Chen, Weida Wang, Shufei Zhang +2
Large reasoning models that use long chain-of-thought excel at problem-solving yet waste compute on redundant checks. Curbing this overthinking is hard: training-time length penalt…
PolyReal: A Benchmark for Real-World Polymer Science Workflows
Wanhao Liu, Weida Wang, Jiaqing Xie +12
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) excel in general domains but struggle with complex, real-world science. We posit that polymer science, an interdisciplinary field spanning…
Chem-R: Learning to Reason as a Chemist
Weida Wang, Benteng Chen, Di Zhang +14
Although large language models (LLMs) have significant potential to advance chemical discovery, current LLMs lack core chemical knowledge, produce unreliable reasoning trajectories…
CMPhysBench: A Benchmark for Evaluating Large Language Models in Condensed Matter Physics
Weida Wang, Dongchen Huang, Jiatong Li +32
We introduce CMPhysBench, designed to assess the proficiency of Large Language Models (LLMs) in Condensed Matter Physics, as a novel Benchmark. CMPhysBench is composed of more than…
DSADF: Thinking Fast and Slow for Decision Making
Zhihao Dou, Dongfei Cui, Jun Yan +5
Although Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents are effective in well-defined environments, they often struggle to generalize their learned policies to dynamic settings due to their re…
