MarkovScale: Towards Optimal Sequential Scaling at Inference Time
Youkang Wang, Jian Wang, Rubing Chen +3
Sequential scaling is a prominent inference-time scaling paradigm, yet its performance improvements are typically modest and not well understood, largely due to the prevalence of h…

OptScale: Probabilistic Optimality for Inference-time Scaling
Youkang Wang, Jian Wang, Rubing Chen +1
Inference-time scaling has emerged as a powerful technique for enhancing the reasoning performance of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, existing approaches often rely on heuri…

OptPO: Optimal Rollout Allocation for Test-time Policy Optimization
Youkang Wang, Jian Wang, Rubing Chen +3
Test-time policy optimization enables large language models (LLMs) to adapt to distribution shifts by leveraging feedback from self-generated rollouts. However, existing methods re…
