From Research Goals to Scientific Closure: Evaluating Agents Through Evidence-Supported Physics Research
Yijia Mao, Song Dai, Tao Chen +14
Can AI agents organize scientific investigations that lead to well-supported conclusions? To evaluate this capability, we introduce PhysClosureBench, a benchmark of 50 expert-verif…
TMCS: Tool-Grounded Multi-Agent Reasoning for Compositional Chemical Problem Solving
Shengqin Wang, Jie Jin, Yu Cheng +4
Despite the promise of Large Language Models (LLMs) in computational chemistry, rigorous combinatorial chemistry problems remain difficult because they require quantitatively const…
SimpleOPD: Simple Tokenizer-Agnostic On-Policy Distillation for Long-Context Reasoning
Haonan He, Haodi Lei, Yun Luo +13
On-policy distillation (OPD) offers a promising way to transfer reasoning capabilities from stronger teacher models, but applying it to long-context reasoning teachers and short-co…
Draft-OPD: On-Policy Distillation for Speculative Draft Models
Haodi Lei, Yafu Li, Haoran Zhang +8
Speculative decoding accelerates large language model inference by pairing a target model with a lightweight draft model whose proposed tokens are verified in parallel. A common wa…
Teaching Thinking Models to Reason with Tools: A Full-Pipeline Recipe for Tool-Integrated Reasoning
Qianjia Cheng, Yuchen Zhang, Zhilin Wang +9
Tool-integrated reasoning (TIR) offers a direct way to extend thinking models beyond the limits of text-only reasoning. Paradoxically, we observe that tool-enabled evaluation can d…
