Enhancing Table Reasoning with Deterministic Table-State Rewards
Tung Sum Thomas Kwok, Xinyu Wang, Hengzhi He +9
Large Language Models (LLMs) struggle with multi-step reasoning over structured tables. The primary reason is the lack of explicit supervision for intermediate reasoning states. Ex…

From Table to Cell: Attention for Better Reasoning with TABALIGN
Tung Sum Thomas Kwok, Zeyong Zhang, Xinyu Wang +6
Multi-step LLM reasoning over structured tables fails because planning and execution share no explicit cell-grounding contract. Existing methods constrain the planner to a left-to-…

TABQAWORLD: Optimizing Multimodal Reasoning for Multi-Turn Table Question Answering
Tung Sum Thomas Kwok, Xinyu Wang, Xiaofeng Lin +7
Multimodal reasoning has emerged as a powerful framework for enhancing reasoning capabilities of reasoning models. While multi-turn table reasoning methods have improved reasoning…
